Boy goes on animal killing spree in zoo

And get this, he's seven years old.

Quote :

The director of an Australian zoo said on Friday he is "horrified" after a seven-year-old boy broke into the zoo, fed an assortment of animals to a crocodile and clubbed various lizards to death with a rock.

The boy's attacks happened early Wednesday and were captured on a zoo security camera, said Rex Neindorf, director of the Alice Springs Reptile Centre in Australia's Northern Territory.

The boy, whose identity cannot be revealed, jumped the zoo's security fence before bludgeoning three lizards to death with a rock, including the zoo's much-loved 20-year-old goanna, which he then fed to "Terry," an 11-foot, 440-pound saltwater crocodile, said Neindorf.

The boy also threw several live animals into the crocodile's enclosure, and at one point tried to clamber over the fence surrounding the enclosure in an effort to get closer to the crocodile.

If this kid becomes a serial killer later on in life, at least no one will say he was such a nice, quiet person. :shock:

Commenting on the surveillance footage at the scene, Neindorf said the boy's face appeared to be largely blank during his rampage.

"It was like he was playing a game."

That's... not at all comforting.

e: derp derp, just realized that the article is two years old, :lol: People are still commenting on it, though.

*wonders what Animal-Killer Boy is doing now, hopes it doesn't involve killing something*

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure this was posted back on GAFF or the House, whichever we were on when the news was fresh.

Yeah, I was rather sure I was the one who posted it.

This almost got me for a moment though.

I thought it sounded really familiar.

I'm too tired to raeg anyway.

Three isn't a killing spree, it's a multikill.

I...I have no words for this. It's just too sick.

Maybe his parents have passed away and his life is just like that movie that Macaulay Culkin did "The Good Son"

My thoughts: That fence couldn't have been too "secure" if a seven year old can get past it.
