Are you a human? Would you have killed it?
Imagine if Elliot did this to ET.
It seems like a waste to just kill the thing. they should have pooped on it too
The real crime here is that they didn't film it.
My bestfriend(i've known since kindergarten) and i used to put toads in ziplock bags and throw them out on a lake, then take big stones and throw them at the toads to try and sink them in the bags..one bag was actually was pinned under water by a stone i chucked on it and we could see the toads in the bag under five feet of water still alive, moving around..yeeaaaa!! good story lol.
If I was a kid and came up on something like that while exploring with my friends, yes, probably would have done the same thing.
I remember we saw a bloated and drowned racoon once when playing it the woods by the creek. Sure enough, first we threw rocks at it, then we poked it with sticks till it's guts oozed out. It's what young boys do. Doesn't mean I can't feel regret for it now that I'm older.
I would have offered it candy and bonded with it.
An exert from the article: "Fearing for the safety as it moved towards them, the youths claim they attacked the beast with sticks..."
This just made me shake my head....God gave you two legs. Run. Don't confront the situation. If teenagers were able to beat this animal to death with sticks, I highly doubt it was a "threat."

that's nothing. my uncle used to take frogs, stick M80's down their throats, put the frogs on a slingshot, light the M80, let go of the slingshot.
he shot the frogs up into the air to watch them go kablooee...my uncle is a sick, deranged, twisted ^^^^.
