Not the most significant of crimes, but really that lad deserves a good talking to IMO.
I know exactly where it is as well.

next step is not a good one for kids like this
And what is the next step?Are you suggesting there's an increased likelihood of a bored teenager shooting a cow with a toy gun turning into a gun crime statistic?
When I was a kid in the country there were plenty shooting cows with air rifles to watch them wander off in a huff. They found it highly amusing.
Idiotic? Sure. Pointless? Yep. Cruel? Probably a bit. But on the way to bigger things? I'd like to see the evidence...

Who found it amusing, the kids or the cows? 
I doubt it was the latter and, anyway, doing something as pathetic rather shows up which party was/is the more bovine.
Don't get me wrong. The guy's a prize cock trumpet for sure, as were kids I heard about shooting cows (and birds etc). Love the idea of the cow getting its own back.
All I'm saying is that I very much doubt there's a connection between this idiocy and gun crime against humans in later life to which I believe t.pot was alluding.

you make far too many assumptions, and to be honest, have made yourself look a bit stupid.All I'm saying is that I very much doubt there's a connection between this idiocy and gun crime against humans in later life to which I believe t.pot was alluding.

At no point did i say he would go on to be a gun crime stat, what i DID say, is where will it lead? if he finds this fun, then he obviously has no respect for much, and where and what will he need to do to satisfy his boredom.
this could be a thousand different things, that do not concern or involve a gun, but the chances are extremely high, that he will not progress on to find satisfaction helping people WILL IT.
but hey, nice to see a post that supports this kid, well done, thanks to attitudes like yours, these kids never get a punishment that scares them enough in the first place.
I wonder, if he shot your car with his BB gun would you still be as understanding
Was it air pistol or BB gun?
Air pistol, bit nasty, and if it's a cow today, is it someones pet tomorrow? Ultimately it's damage to property if the farmer wants to sell the hide. It might even break the skin, get infected and die.
BB gun, fair play. They don't hurt, let kids be kids and be easily amused.
All that said, they are clearly townie tosspots for filming it and putting it in YouTube. That is enough to warrant viewing them as complete bellends.
