Zoo Massacre

Jon · 10-03-2008, 09:14 AM

Just heard this on the Today Show.

In Austrailia, a 7-year-old boy broke into a zoo. Then proceeded to shoot-and-kill about a dozen animals (including, the report made note of, an 11-foot crocodile).

*Edit: Guess the Today Show's info was a little off, as I just found a report of the incident online--

Still, it's quite disturbing!

Future serial killer, anyone?

That's absolutely horrifying. It's a shame they can't charge him, but I hope they get the parents. And I hope these parents aren't the 'my child is an innocent sweetheart' type. He better get what he deserves and needs, which is obviously help, but punishment also.

I figured this would be about animals breaking out and killing people, not people breaking in and killing animals.

What a brat.

OMG! I hope the ghost of Steve Irwin haunts this boy!! That is just plain sick!!

Uh...Okay.

Yeah that kid is kinda whacked.

I think someone should feed HIM to an 11-foot crocodile. SERIOUSLY.

*Buslady* · 10-06-2008, 01:08 AM

I'm confused...cos on the news they said it was Australia Zoo, Steve's park...now this says it's another park. Eh, either way...the little brat should somehow be punished, his parents should ultimately pay.

*Storm Wolf* · 10-15-2008, 02:53 PM

OMG!

what kind of children are we raising these days? That's awful! How could such a young boy be so cold-hearted?

I agree with Jo....future serial killer, wife beater....something of that nature for sure.

Maybe he should have to pay for all those animals by way of community service until he's old enough to pay for them with actual money. Might teach him a thing or two....throw in some major counseling too.

holy fook ! wht a little freddy kreuger! that kid should be arrested

Canadian Turtle · 10-15-2008, 06:22 PM

And the kid will get nothing but a slap on the wrist like every other crazy kid. Kids are taking over the world because we can't do Sh%# to them when the screw around and they KNOW it!

you can't pay for animals, they're irreplaceable.
they're all rescues who were unreleasable, it's sad.
the kid will get a slap on the wrist...it's typical.

*Storm Wolf* · 10-15-2008, 10:37 PM

I meant that the money could go to the zoo to help fund for other animals that may need rescuing and such.....I didn't think they would use the money to buy new reptiles, but it would help the park with funding for future rescues.

In no way did I imply that the animals were replaceable. I'm not that cold BL.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-15-2008, 10:50 PM

[evil]We could toss him into the crocodile pit and see how long he lasts...[/evil]

I think the best thing would be for him to PAY out of his savings for getting some new animals (sadly, you can never truly replace the ones you had...

), and then have him do some work for the zoo and learn about the responsibilities of taking care of such animals.

If I were his parent.... *mutters things best left unsaid*

Yeah, they should skin the kid and his parents alive.

It was apparently a reptile-specific zoo. And the kid killed some lizards himself, while taking other lizards and turtles and tossing them into an alligator's enclosure.

MadPirateBunny · 10-16-2008, 09:10 AM

any news on what's gonna happeen to the kid and his parents?

I didnt think so cos yer an animal nut like me. i brainfarted was like ??? pay for the animals...nah that can't be right.

i thought they could make the kid work there and learn compassion but my hubby thought it was a dumb idea...typical

Apparently he tried to climb the fence to get where the big croc was (Real smart kid

), maybe if he'd have gotten close enough.
