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.

for the sake of argumentYes people have a choice, but they don't often realise it. For many people, the idea of moving away from their home and family is utterly unimaginable. They'll accept any conditions because they can't conceive of a choice. They are, in that sense, prisoners. It's like saying animals could commit suicide if they wanted to in order to deprive their masters of experimental fodder - but I don't imagine this occurs to many animals.
