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.

"Most of it is so that Chanel can say they have tested their latest lip plumper."Cosmetic animal testing is banned in the UK (meaning, licences to do it are no longer granted).
Animal testing for medical purposes is essential, and most of it is done on mice and fruit flies, things like that.
We kill animals all the time, from the meat-eaters, to the vegetarians whose food has been supplied by animal-shredding combine harvesters, and every one of us who has ever owned a cat, or dealt with rodent or insect infestations. At least medical testing serves a useful purpose. I'm vegetarian myself, but the leathers I wear on my motorbike has saved my skin numerous times.
