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.

Feeding hamsters to the dogNot entirely sure what possessed her, but my mum thought it would be a good idea to introduce our Russian (read very small) hamster to our bearded collie.
Beardies aren't the brightest of breeds, and so with the hamster sitting in mum's hand, the dog opens its mouth and clamps down over the mouse.
Mum clouts the dog on the nose, and the dog spits out the bewildered (but largely unharmed) mouse. Unsurprisingly, the mouse never fully recovered.
Almost as funny as the time we fed the dog space dust . . .
