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.

Electro-GymnasticsBack in the 80's we used to live in a house opposite farmland running for miles. Me and me dad used to go for walks through the fields and the forest at the end of this, but also used to suffer the occasional livestock walking past our cars in the morning as there were no fencing. So the local farmer erected an electric wire fence to keep all the cows in, and that it did.
The only problem with this was that it prevented anyone being able to traverse into the fields beyond, so some local kids placed big stones on a certain section of the fence bending it flat and crossable.
So me an me dad go for a walk, and me ol' dog Sam (a black alsation cross) follows us down to the fence. Now Sam was well aware of this fence and trotted rather sheepishly over to where it had been bent down. He sniffs a bit, then carefully walks across the fence placing his feet in the gaps between the wires. After he did this for the first time, he started wagging his tail like feck and running back and forth over this downed obstacle. Finally, Sam has power over the fence.
Me and dad are watching this and are laughing to each other about it, when suddenly;
BANG "YELP!!!"
Cue a flying yelping dog with all 4 legs stretched outwards floating 5 foot through the air, landing on his feet and sprinting back home. That'll teach the clever fecker.
