This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two boys were told they “must do something” to pay their parents back as they were sentenced for killing more than 20 animals at a London college.
The boys, 11 and 12, had admitted causing criminal damage and unnecessary suffering to animals during a break-in at Capel Manor College on 25 February.
The boys killed animals and destroyed enclosures causing £10,000 worth of criminal damage during a break-in at the college campus in Gunnersbury Park.
The boys also stole various animals from the environmental college, including ferrets and guinea pigs.
During mitigation, Harriet Palfreman, defending the 12-year-old boy, said her client “understands the gravity of the offences committed” and that he is “susceptible to impulsivity”.
Dafne Moran Toha, defence lawyer for the 11-year-old, said both boys were “extremely remorseful for their actions”.
