He would get more than a telling off in NZ, I am sure it is illegal to use a BB gun here, for any purpose, little brat, and that is putting it nicely, they can do some serious damage, so he thinks it is fun to hurt an innocent animal, and let it suffer in pain, geez I would have a few things to say to that young man, so yes I understand and sympathise with your rant, his parents should be ashamed of themselves for letting him continue this cruel bit of so called fun.GRRRR.......
