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.

Yet more pheasantsWithout osok's excellent sound effects, I'm afraid :-(
PJM's pheasant story on page 2 reminded me of the time a bloke I knew hit a pheasant with his car while driving through a estate he'd been working on. The bird was still alive, but injured, so concerned for its welfare, and also to avoid the potential wrath of the gamekeeper, he decided to do something about it.
So off he went to the estate house, and knocked on the door. The owner, your stereotypical well-to-do landowner type, appeared and saw this bloke with an injured pheasant in a box on his doorstep.
"Er, I just hit this pheasant with my car and I've hurt it. What would you suggest I do?"
The landowner's reply was not as he might have expected. "I suggest stuffing it, and putting the fucker in the oven surrounded by roast potatoes!" he said.
Which he did. Yum.
