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.

Some years ago,I accidentally(as opposed to dliberately) ran over a dog with my car.
At an intersection with two right turn lanes, I was in the left of the two. To my right was an orange (funny how the details stick in your head)Kombi van, the passenger of said van had a blue cattle dog on their lap.
Lights turn green, Kombi is slightly infront of me, as he has shorter radius corner. I am however accelerating at a rapid rate, as one cattle dog exits left side window of right turning Kombi, and hits ground directly in front of my car and disappears underneath.
I hear thudding and yelping, to my surprise the dog exits the rear of my car and bolts down the middle of the two lanes of traffic, with it's owner/carer following like some kind of lunatic with a death wish. I didnt mean to hurt the animal, but sometimes "natural selection" can be harsh.
