While most kindergartners are thrilled by an action-packed afternoon of finger-painting and clay sculpture, an Arkansas 5-year-old is shooting for something a little more dangerous.

Tre Merritt was in a stand with his grandfather when a black bear came from a thicket at the side of the road, Little Rock news station KATV-TV reported. From about 50 yards away, Tre shot the bear with his youth rifle.

Sad that they killed such a beautiful animal when obviously they weren't in danger. Why kill such an animal when it was simply going about its life?

Can't wait until I hear the news when this kid climbs into a bear cage, without his "youth rifle". Is that like a Hitler youth rifle, what the hell is going on in this country?

That is exactly what it was. His grandfather is in fact a member waffen SS. And by bear, they meant Jew.

Youth rifles are nothing new, probably been around for more than a century. How do you think Hitler learned to shoot?

Patsfan and Hapa,
You should take into consideration, for over 200 years Americans have chosen to participate in legal past times. I myself prefer not to kill animals but I would not chastise a boy for successfully and legally hunting a bear any sooner then I would you for marching in gay pride parades or anti war protests. Don’t judge, change the laws.
