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.

Bunny killI've had a few birds fly into my car labelling me the 'birdy murderer' before but this was the worst.
One night driving home from work at 11pm I was giving a lift to a friend so he could get home early to watch the football. We were chatting and laughing when I saw what I though at first was a small bag on the motorway. Then I saw what it really was, a baby bunny sitting in the middle of the road.
It happened in seconds. I saw its cute little face, eyes entranced by the headlights then felt the thump as it went under my tyre. My friend and I both went quiet until I whined; "Oh GOD I just killed a bunny....I KILLED A BUNNY!" The rest of the drive home was silent, I dropped him off and pulled up outside my house where my mum opened the front door.
"Whats the matter?" she asked, seeing I looked a little shaken up. One of my cats then wandered over to the car and started sniffing the tyre which proved my crime.
"I... I just killed a bunnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" I burst into tears and continued to cry for half an hour. I didn't sleep that night, I kept seeing that bunny's cute little face before it was flattened.
Doesn't beat when my friend hit a bunny though, she stopped the car, picked up it's limp body whilst crying, kissed it telling it she was sorry and put it in the bushes. To be fair though I don't think there was enough of the baby rabbit I hit left to pick up.
Length? I don't even want to think about how far that rabbit was spread across the road....
