Boy, 7, fed live zoo animals to crocodile

#10  I'm told that 'once upon a time in a liberty port far far away' drunken sailors used to buy fluffy ducks and baby chicks from the Hey-Joes that hung around outside their watering holes and fed them (not the Hey-Joes) to crocs and gators. The ability to confirm that no longer exists since Subic Bay is closed.

#9  Unfortunately in Australia, no law is actually enforceable. At least against a 7 year old. They may want to think about changing that.

#8  That kid is seriously f*cked up in the head. Forget the criminal charges, have a pediatric psychiatrist brought in and examine his demonic little brain.

#7  More here. The expressionless lad scaled a fence, then bludgeoned to death some of the reptiles he fed to the crocodile. Psychopath, indeed. But at least it's a family tradition -- his brother did something similar some years ago.

#2  Besides liability, this kid is a psychopath in the making.

#1  This article leaves some big questions unanswered. One, by what means did a 7 year old "break in" to the farm? Did he just walk through an unlocked door? And who was supposed to be supervising this kid during his "35 minute rampage"? Also, perhaps the boy cannot be punished (by the state anyway) but, surely, the parents or guardians must have some financial liability.
