This is a question Accidental animal cruelty

I 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.

Not unintentional...
...but more based on the base stupidity that is the hallmark of all chavs. This can't have happened much more than a year ago.

I was in my study (get me) generally farting about one weekend afternoon when I heard some shouting from outside my window, so I got up to have a gander. I saw some chav on a quad bike shouting obscenities at his young staffy bull dog, which he had attached to the back of the bike with its leash. He was frustrated that every time he put the revs on, the dog put its own brakes on and was not keen on keeping up the pace that the machine was capable of. Who'd have thought?

I watched him start and stop three times over about twenty yards with the dog demonstrating each time that it was, quite justifiably, not keen on the idea at all. The third time this chavvy prick got off the bike and started beating the poor mutt. It was obviously getting a bit pissed off by this time, and I heard it snarl at him and he reared back (demonstrating another mainstay of the chav philosophy, cowardice). It was at this point I chucked my two pennies' worth in:

ME: {bellowing from second-floor window} G'WAAN, BITE HIM!
HIM: {looking up} Mind your own fucking business, nob'ead
ME: Fuck you you thick cunt - poor little fucker could rip your throat out and I'd still cheer it on. What the fuck do you think you're doing anyway, dragging an animal behind a motorbike? Wake up!

He didn't seem interested in continuing the debate, either verbally with me or physically with the dog. Muttering, he unhooked the leash and turned the bike around, most probably to drop off the bike or the dog before setting out to wherever he was supposed to be going.

Chavs - practically worthless in every way. EDIT: Whilst alive, at least, yeah :)

Chavs worthless?
No, I won't have that! There are plenty of canyons that need filling. Hot air ballons need jettisonable ballast. Feeding ground up cows to other cows is suspected of passing on BSE. Everything has at least some use.
