I don't see what the big deal is - they were just reptiles. I think killing animals is normal part of a boy's growth and development. If anything, he was doing the crocodile a favor by giving it extra food. We need to stop being so politically correct. We don't we applaud the kid for being creative. Most adults couldn't break into a zoo, let alone 7-year-olds. Adults have a responsibility to encourage children's talents so that they can grow and mature: some kids excel at music, some excel at art, and others excel at killing animals for their own amusement. What's the big deal?

I'm going to lay that straight tomarrow to everyone at school, who would deliberitly go into a Zoo, smash animals heads with rocks, and toss 'em into a crocodile pit, just to watch! Unfortunatly, the law can't do anything about this little monster, but If I had a choice, It would be ALOT diffrent. He KNEW what he did was wrong, and still went on, Like no one taught him "Killing is Bad"

If this was my kid, he'd be in serious therapy by now; I wouldn't wait to see if he was going to move on to hurting people or not.

Sorry to double-comment, but I just read the full article. The kid's older brother was part of a group that attacked the crocodile 5 years ago.

Sorry, I've got to agree with the other commenters. A 7-year-old who breaks into a zoo and callously butchers animals has serious mental problems.

I agree with Neindorf. This child certainly isn't a little sociopath because some random big meanie adult said that he's... well, a sociopath.

I guess it's also my fault the kid is a monster. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with parenting shortcomings or, say, an innate lack of empathy towards other living creatures.

So often when an teenager or adult violent there is a childhood history of violence towards animals. There must be something seriously wrong with that kid. I agree that he needs help, but I don't think he should get away without some punitive consequence as well. He has to be made to understand that hurting living things for fun is not acceptable.
