That is very sick, and they will get away with it as they are to young.
Killing a lame chick was hard for me. so god knows what they where thinking.
What can you say? If I ever catch anyone doing that kind of thing I honestly don't know what might happen. I've known people who'd burn down houses (seriously) for less, and I wouldn't disagree. Some might think that's harsh but really, just how much crap are you prepared to take?
Those poor animals. To know that children of that age can be guilty of such carnage just sickens you, what sort of adults are they going to be.
It is a sad world we live in now. I say bring back corporal punishment (not hanging). Kids get away with murder at school, teachers dont stand a chance. When I was a kid if you did wrong any adult could and would tell you off and frog march you back to your parents. A copper could clip you round the ear after giving you an ear bashing verbally.
Yes there was still crime but not on the scale it is now. Knifings, shootings armed robberies galore. It sickens me how there is no respect for the elderly, parents, any authority or for life itself wether it be animal or human.
I do not include the kids and families that are respectful and law abiding, of which there are many. It does sadden me that me 12 year old grandson is scared to cross a playing field because there are older teenagers on it............
Sorry about the rant.

They are not too young. The age when you can be held criminally responsible for your actions in ten!

These kids will be taken away and put somewhere in a secure unit where they can be psychologically tested as killing and torturing animals is a major pointer to killing when adults.
How awful! How many serial killers started off torturing animals? - a good number of them!
