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.

I'm all for consistencySo I agree with animal testing and I eat meat It's difficult to know where to draw the line. Much of what we wear, eat and use day to day has been produced at the personal expense of the world's poorest people. So do we become entirely self-sufficient? And does animal welfare come above or below that as a priority.
Although I do admit a lot of animal testing is very likely done on products that exist purely for our vanity. I don't mind closing my eyes when I wash my hair. In fact I do it even if the shampoo is supposed to be safe and tested on animals.
