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.

Vicarious responsibilityOne night, many years ago, I was returning from an evening out in London. I took a cab from the railway station back to my flat.
As we were driving along a cat wandered out into the middle of the road and the driver stopped to let it pass. The cat disappeared so the driver moved off again...
Bump...
Bump...
The drive stopped, sucked his teeth and then drove on again.
I hope the kitty died quickly.
