A seven-year-old Australian boy broke into a Territory reptile farm and sadistically fed a stream of its main exhibits to the resident 3m crocodile. He also bludgeoned three lizards to death in their pens.
Police cannot charge the boy because of his age.
Security camera video footage clearly shows every move of the youngster's 35-minute rampage. One CCTV image shows him with a big smile on his face as he watches the saltie splash around its pool as it attacks a northern blue tongue lizard.
Centre director Rex Neindorf said the behaviour was "disgusting''. "I'm just devastated at the age of the child and the fact no one wants to take responsibility,'' he said. "If it was back in my day he'd get a big boot up the arse.''
Mr Neindorf said 10 reptiles - a turtle, four western blue tongue lizards, two bearded dragons, two thorny devils and a 1.8m adult female Spencer's goanna - were thrown into the jaws of the 200kg crocodile named Terry. A further three lizards - a blue tongue and two thorny devils -were found dead after being "brutally bludgeoned''.
He said the boy was lucky he did not also become Terry's dinner.
