Accidental animal crueltyI once invented a brilliant game - I'd sit at the top of the stairs and throw cat biscuits to the bottom. My cat would eat them, then I'd shake the box, and he would run up the stairs for more biscuits. Then - of course - I'd throw a biscuit back down to the bottom. I kept this going for about half an hour, amused at my little game, and all was fine until the cat vomited. I felt absolutely dreadful.
Have you accidentally been cruel to an animal?
This question has been revived from way, way, way back on the b3ta messageboard when it was all fields round here.

JennymnemonicWhat about a compulsory child licence too? People who are not responsible enough to train a dog or look after an animal of any sort properly are not fit to raise children either.
OK, I'm not a dog lover. I'd never harm one intentionally, and would feel bad about doing so unintentionally, but I wouldn't keep one personally. But as you say, it's not so much the dogs which are a problem, it's almost always the owners.
And most of the time that's true for kids too.
