SYDNEY, Australia — A blank-faced 7-year-old boy broke into a popular Outback zoo, fed a string of animals to the resident crocodile and bashed several lizards to death with a rock, the zoo's director said Friday.
The boy jumped a security fence at the Alice Springs Reptile Center in central Australia early Wednesday, then went on a 30-minute killing spree, using a rock to slay three lizards, including the zoo's beloved, 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound vsaltwater crocodile, said zoo director Rex Neindorf.

LOL I guess so. Expensive dinner for the crocodile. Animals were valued at $5500. I thought it was an interesting article. How many 7 year olds do you know that would do something like that?

They make it sound like the child is a murder. He just wants to feed a crocodile. Lizard = food. Food = Crocodile.
If he kills the Lizard, he won't have to worry about it slipping out of his hand. Simple little boy logic. I wonder if he will do time? lol

Maybe he just wanted to feed the croc.
The article said it seemed like he was playing a game. That's why I said I'd like to see the video games he plays.
Some kids try to copy things they see in movies, on games, etc... which is what I think that comment was leading up to.
I found the article posted on another forum, and they had him branded as a future serial killer.
He won't do time. In the area he lives in, he can't be charged because he is too young. They are suing his parents because they say someone has to accept responsibility for his actions.
