Well I reckon the kids parents should be charged and the kid given counselling if not taken into care, he should also be banned from keeping animals for life.

I don't think Tuffs arguments hold water either the kid was obviously killing the animals for the sake of killing them, I reckon the whole feeding issue was just an added bonus for him. The argument about feeding your pets life prey is a bit suss as well as most pet owners will feed dead prey if at all possible.

The kid broke in and done something that he quite blatantly knew was wrong therefore he should be punished, as he's too young the parents should bear the brunt of the official punishment and flow down the kids own punishment.
