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.

Ooh does this count?Really early childhood memory…
Once, my dad, when pissed as a shagsack in the pitch black of night (and this was when I was too young to know what ‘pissed’ meant), climbed into several bin liners and lay star-shaped in the back garden, after covering himself with chunks of bread and staying as still as a rat-arsed bell-end can be...all because he’d suddenly decided that it was his lifetime ambition to ‘have birds feed off him’.
Suffice to say…bugger all happened. Birds might have brains the size of maggot-bollocks but they’re not THAT thick.
So I suppose this doesn’t count as accidental cruelty to animals…but it sure as shit left me mentally scarred.

He should try St. Peter's Square in Venice.You can lie down and scatter seed on yourself and the pigeons will eat it off you.
I found some pigeons that would eat out of my hand in Claremont Landscape Gardens. They're ornamental pigeons bred by the park, so they're not the diseased scabby ones you find in cities. They have such soft fluffy chests!

You can do that...what you do, is set up a dummy on a bench and sprinkle seed or whatnot on it. After a couple days, the birds become accustomed to it, then you replace the dummy with yourself, and there you go.
