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.

choking the dog, feeling the painA couple of weeks ago I arrived home to discover the dog (choclate labrador)had got his nose through the stairgate and had shredded some presents we'd recently brought back from Egypt. I hit him a couple of times in sheer rage til the fiance said that was enough, there's no point in just hitting him, he doesn't know what he's done.
I disagreed (quietly) and waited until she'd walked into the living room and closed the door. I then grabbed the hairy git by the throat, lifted him up and tried to choke him. I love the dog but the red mist had descended. It was a scene reminiscent of homer choking bart simpson. I never heard the fiance coming back out of the living room until she started screaming and repeatedly hitting me for being a cruel b*llocks.
It's so so unfair, the dog eats the family presents and then I get beaten up for it! WTF?

Christ almightyYou were doing that to the dog long enough for your fiance to come back into the room - so, what, ten, fifteen seconds minimum ?
This QoTW is meant to be about accidental animal cruelty. Not real cruelty. If you have kids, and they fuck your stuff up (which children, like animals, generally only do if they are not looked after properly) - what will you do to them ?
What makes it worse is that it wasn't heat-of-the-moment stuff - you waited sneakily until your girlfriend was out of the room - because you *knew* it wasn't the right thing to do - and then did it. And complain afterwards - not a hint of remorse.
FFS we all get things wrong in this life, but that's a major major error. Pre-meditated cruelty to a dumb animal.
If you get the red mist so easily - about THINGS for God's sake, THINGS you lived quite happily without and you probably have no need for - then you should think long and hard about yourself. But it wasn't the "red mist", this was pre-meditated cruelty.
Shame on you. Shame.
