What the *&!%$@ was this guy thinking???

Just read this excerpt. I'm speechless.
RED OAK, Texas - An 18-year-old man was arrested Friday and accused of killing a zebra named Zambi in a drive-by shooting.

Zambi was shot dead July 5 as he grazed in a pasture at HiView Farms outside of Waxahachie, about 30 miles from Dallas, said Lt. Kevin Ketchum of the Ellis County Sheriff's Office. The farm is also home to camels, llamas and ring-tailed lemurs.

Joshua Romano and four friends were swimming in a creek but had to leave because of rain. They spotted the zebra as they were driving down a road near the farm. That's when Romano pulled out a deer rifle and shot Zambi dead, Ketchum said. The animal was worth about $10,000.

Romano's friends tried to prevent him from shooting the zebra, and the driver sped up to make the shooting more difficult, Ketchum said.

I'll never understand that kind of thinking. "Hey, there's something you don't see every day. LET'S KILL IT!!!"

That's like that dude in NY who threw rocks at a hawk. I honestly think that people like that should be beaten. Or, at least have rocks thrown at them.
