A boy of 7 years broke into a zoo in Australia, killed several animals to feed a crocodile during a troubled series of killings captured by security cameras of the zoo.
The attack happened during the day, around 8 am on Wednesday, local time.
For 35 minutes, the boy brutally killed at least 13 animals in the center of the city's Australian reptiles from Alice Springs. In one case, he hit a lizard several times with a stone until the animal did not resist anymore.
In addition, the boy still fed a crocodile with several live animals that played in the reptile cage of 3 meters, called Terry.
The images of the internal circuit television from the center showed the boy smiling while watching the crocodile attack in a blue tongue lizard.
Despite having been brought to the police, the boy can not be arrested because it is under age. But the director of the center, Rex Neindorf either prosecute the parents of the boy, who, he says, should be controlling the child at that time.
"I'm sorry for the boy's age, the damage he has done and for anyone wanting to take responsibility," said Neindorf the local press. "If I were in my time of a child, he would take a good kick in the butt," said the director disagree.
Neindorf said that ten reptiles, a turtle, four-speaking blue lizards, two-BARBUDA dragons, two hell-spinal iguana and a 20-year and 1.8 meters were played for Terry, the crocodile of 200 pounds.
In addition, three more lizards were found dead in their nurseries.
"It will be difficult to replace them. Many were rare and mature," deplores the director.
The boy was questioned by police, but remained silent. The police said that they did not have the slightest idea of what may have motivated the attack.
