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.

The animal cruelty in this one was deliberate by some of my mates....I just managed to end up the "evil one" in my quest to be humane to the poor creature.
First of all, yes, I do go shooting and have eradicated alot of vermin along with quite a few of one of our national symbols in my time. Meat and skins are always used and this is never done just for the sake of killing an animal (feral cats and indian minor birds excluded).
Anyways, one day me and a few of "the boys" were drinking in my mates shed (along with a few of the sober "designated drivers" AKA "wifeys")(I was single at the time) . Some way into the drinking session a crested dove flies into the shed to roost for the night. Said mate who owns the shed says "That must be the cunt that keeps shitting on my fucking boat!" and proceeds to wave his arms about madly telling it to "FUCK OFF!". this goes on for a minute or 2 when another one of the bys remembers shed owners pellet gun that is kept in the shed. Naturally he pulls it out and says "Dont worry, I'll get the cunt!" Cue laughter and chants of "go on" from the rest of the group (wifeys just rolling their eyes and not stepping in preffering not to have a potential argument on their hands). Me being a bit concerned about our feathered native freind urged other wise and advised that if shed owner did not want it in there, maybe he should just fix the hole in the wall. Duh! Regardless of rational and me urging to not shoot it, it gets shot. But not dead, injured. No one would touch it, they were re-loading. Cue me rushing over to the poor bird "FOR FUCKS SAKE AT LEAST PUT THE CUNT OUT OF ITS MISERY!" I picked up the bird with all humane intentions and snapped its neck. Only problem being, due to haste and a belly full of grog its head ripped clean off its body and left me standing there with a body of the dove in one hand and the head in another "Ooops!" was all I could say. 2 seconds later cue the better halves of my freinds.... "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! YOUR FUCKING HORRIBLE! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT! YOU ARE A FUCKING SADIST!" etc etc etc....
I did not even bother with an explanation.
