#1 Several youths had climbed over the fence at the Yintan resort in Beihai and were hitting animals with sticks and rocks

Evidently, mom and dad never instructed the lad about not annoying things bigger than you that have lots of sharp pointy teeth.

The handlers probably didn't even notice anything was amiss because the crocs still required their regular feeding. You know how it is with Chinese ... half an hour later, you're hungry again.

#3 The days of munching on the kiddies and living to tell about it are over...atleast in captivity. Out in the wild, it would be at the bottom of the swamp with a toothpick!

#7 Kids can be stupid. They look at crocodiles and think of them as oversized lizards. When in fact they probably kill more people than tigers or bears. Put together.

#10 Nobody in the amusement park thought it pertinent to make the kids get out of the croc pit? I'm all for accepting responsibility for ones actions , but geesh. Kids do stupid shit sometimes, I can't believe that nobody in the whole park intervened.
