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.

If you do hit a pheasanttry if possible (i.e. only swerve if it's an empty country road) to get it so it's just clipped by the car. Chances are it'll break its neck, meaning an instantaneous death. Moreover, you can then (again, only if possible, don't try this on a motorway) back up and retrieve the body.
Hang it up in the garage, and a few weeks later you've got yourself a free pheasant supper!
If it's too bruised to roast, but not too mangled, it also make an excellent game pie. Adding parsnips, carrots, potatoes, peas etc, and reduced red wine sauce, will make this utterly delicious, and puff pastry for the topping is highly recommended. *adds to b3ta cookbook if/when it comes out*
