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.

cruel even when deadWhen i was little I had the brilliant idea of using a big old carboard box to make a giant run for my hamster.
He was happy. I was happy. So was the cat.
I left my bedroom door open that night and I awake to find a half eaten hanster in the box...
As if that wasnt bad enough my mum, trying to cheer me up, decided to tell me hamsters sometimes hibernate when theyre in shock and if i put it back in its cage it might awake.
So for over a month i had a bloody, chew-ed hamster in a cage in the basement. Surely thats as cruel on the dead rodent as it was to me.
