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.

David Blunketanyone remember him???
a few years ago, while he was still the best education minister Labour's current incarnation have had, he was guest at a Trafford LEA meeting/conference. My dad (then a Trafford head) attended as he was also invited, unfortunately this meant he was forever banned from heaven as he set foot at "old trafford", not LCCC (the real old trafford) but the other one. However, God allows for some mistakes, especially when you make up for them.
My dad was trying to get through a door into another room and felt something relatively solid in his way, so he kicked it (not too hard) and heard a whimper. Looking down there was Lucy, Blunket's then faithful friend whimpering back at my father.
although saying that, surely more cruelty was inflicted on the poor bitch when blunket became home secretary and she was on the news 24/7

NopeNope, she seemed to do OK. I used to work across the road from the home office and would regularly see her being taken for walks in St James's Park. Seemed like a happy enough dog when not working (You quite regularly see guide dogs being taken for a walk by sighted people round there).
