Play Nice
Times Online UK reports:
A schoolboy who climbed over a fence into a crocodile enclosure and taunted the animals with sticks and a catapult was dragged into the water and eaten.
The nine-year-old, whose family name was given as Liu, and three friends sneaked into the crocodile park at the Silver Beach holiday resort at Beihai in the southwestern Guangxi region on Friday.
The children shot at the animals with catapults and beat them with sticks.
My condolences go out to the Liu family, as do my regrets that they failed to properly teach their son that breaking and entering is WRONG, assault is WRONG, cruelty to animals is WRONG–and that crocodiles, if provoked, might eat people.
