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.

DrivingMate of mine, an ex-flatmate, used to be a driving instructor up in the wilds of Northumberland where I used to live.
He had one pupil, a drippy-trippy student who used to annoy the hell out of him - mainly because she was unteachable as far as driving went. She would only do exactly what he told her. No more, no less. So if, on approaching a bend, he didn't tell her to steer the car around the bend, she'd frequently keep going straight meaning that mate had to apply the emergency breaks to avoid going off the road and into a hedge.
"But you didn't tell me to veer left" she'd wail.
But I'm rabbiting. Back to the tale.
Anyway - this one tme he had this fuckwit in the car and they were driving down a country lane when this red squirrel dashed into the road.
"Thud-Thud"
"Oh my God" wailed student "I've just ran over a red squirrel!
"Yup" says mate
"Are they an endangered species" asks student
"Well that one is" says mate.
After that he always referred to her as:
"The Northumbrian Squirrel Squasher"
