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.

Been there, done that
One pheasant crossing a country road. No problem, I saw it. I didn't however spot the one which was following it.
Bang! Feathers! Dented Car! (apologies to Disasterprone).
Hitting a pheasant at 60 (ahem) mph does not do a 1984 Mk II Cavalier any good. It bashed in all the front valance and two little plastic trim panels fell off.
The worst of it was that some bugger in a Lada going the other way stopped and put the mangled pheasant in his boot. I can't imagine it would have been too easy to carve though, with all these broken bones and bits of car in it.
