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.

Revenge.Not myself, but some poor unfortunate.
I lent on one of the barriers at Drayton Manor zoo, outside of the chimpanzee enclosure, and promptly found my arm covered in shit. I was rather perplexed by this and had no idea how it got there, until I looked over and saw a man teasing one of them with an ice cream.
The poor chimp, look of desperation upon her face, arm outstretched from the cage desperately trying to reach the frozen treat. One of the male chimps then came out of the house thing within the enclosure, prompting the female to retract her hand, flip out (I assume she was threatened that the male would steal the ice cream), dance around the enclosure screaming and then scoop up a handful of shit before launching it at the ice cream-wielding teaser with precision accuracy.
That would explain the barrier then.
Moral of the story:-
Don't be cruel to chimps; they're shit-snipers in reality.
