Accidental animal cruelty
I 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.

Frank was fired for killing the fish...
And I took over from him...
My first job was to humanely dispose of all the fish Frank had killed.
“Fuck this for a lark” I thought…I just threw the buggers into Leo the lion’s cage. The next day I checked, and lo and behold, they were all gone. Result.
For my next task, I was sent to work cleaning out the chimpanzees.
Well that looked like a bit of a mucky job, and I couldn’t really be arsed, so I just sprayed the floor with water. Covered the place.
Wouldn’t you know it? 2 of the bloody chimps climbed down from their frame, slipped on the water and brokes their backs. Stone.fucking.dead. Shit.
Well, as you can imagine I was a bit worried about getting into trouble, so remembering Frankspencer’s advice, I threw the bodies into the lions’ cage.
Next day I checked…and they were gone. Get in there.
For my next job, I was also sent to the insects exhibit. Particularly the bee hives. Well, in my full protective gear I started to approach the bees but something must’ve spooked ‘em pretty bad, because they all came flying out and attacked me! The bastards!
So I grabbed the nearest thing that came to hand…a shovel actually…and started swatting the buzzing fuckers for all I was worth. Before I knew what was happening, I was standing in a pile of bees…all squashed to buggery. Oh crap.
Well, I did the only honourable thing…I scraped them all into a wheelbarrow and chucked the bodies into Leo’s cage. Checked next day…Bees gone…Job done.
The day after that, I had to take a delivery of a new Lion. As it was being led into the cage I saw it approach Leo and I’m sure I heard something like:
New Lion: “Hello, What’s your name?”
Leo: “Leo”
New Lion: “Well Leo, nice to meet you. Do they treat you alright here? What’s the diet like?”
Leo: “Ah, it’s not too bad, for the last three days I’ve had fish, chimps and mushy bees!”
*baddum tish*
