Maybe he could fix the racoons in my yard?

Interesting story......

One of the predictors for psychopathic behaviors in adults is their torture of small animals when they were kids. This boy got the crock to do it for him.

BTW what kind of zoo allows little kids to have access to lizards, crocs etc. anyways? And don't they feed the croc?

IMO the parents should sue the zoo.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - The parents of a 7-year-old boy who broke into an Australian outback zoo and fed a string of small animals to its resident crocodile are likely to be sued after police said the boy was too young to be held responsible.

A turtle, four western blue tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devil lizards and a 1.8 metre (5.9ft) adult female Spencer's goanna were fed or led into the jaws of a 3 metre, 200kg (440lb) saltwater crocodile named "Terry."

Security camera footage at the Alice Springs Reptile Centre showed the smiling youngster also bludgeoning to death a small blue tongue lizard and two more thorny devils during a half-hour of breakfast-time havoc last Wednesday.

"The fact a 7-year-old can wreak so much havoc in such a short time, it's unbelievable. In my day he'd get a big boot up the arse," centre director Rex Neindorf told Reuters by phone.

"Police found him, but in the Northern Territory here he can't be accountable if he's under 10 years of age."

Neindorf said many of the animals fed to the croc were rare or mature and would be difficult to replace.

The boy was unknown at the centre and had "clammed up" when questioned by police on what sparked the rampage, he said.

Neindorf said he was now looking at suing the parents of the pint-sized terror, who could easily have been taken by Terry himself as he fed the croc from a small landing at his enclosure.

"We'll be looking at suing the parents, who were supposedly in control of him at the time," he said.

Another Ted Bundy in the making.

Yea, he got the croc to do most of it for him, but it also says he bludgened a couple of other ones himself.

Looks like a future Death Row inmate to me.

You would also think the croc wouldnt have ate all that.....maybe the zoo is also mistreating animals (not feeding - not a pun), as well as slacking on the security.

Never thought a croc would bother with a turtle.
