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.

Accidental? Judge for yourself…I did nothing as Daisy the cow was taken from her field where she was happily grazing.
She hadn’t done anything wrong…wouldn’t hurt a fly.
I did nothing as she was dragged into a dank, dark, corrugated iron shack and wedged into a small cage where she couldn’t move. Despite her state of perfect health, I did nothing as she was painfully electrocuted until unconscious. Less than one minute later, she was mercilessly shot through the head with an iron bolt and her throat was cut.
Call me a monster if you will, but as her skin was flailed from her now lifeless body, I did nothing.
Her once beautiful eyes now ripped out, her head sliced off, her tongue removed, her guts eviscerated and her feet cleaved from her legs with huge blades…as she was hoisted up and the final precious lifeblood dripped from her corpse…I didn’t intervene.
As her remaining limbs were hacked off and cast into vicious grinding machines…grinding…grinding…ever grinding her once happy, harmless shape, stripping her bones until all that was left was a pinkish, soulless mass of unrecognisable pulp.
I.Did.Nothing.
I nonchalantly carried on with my daily selfish business, pretending to be blissfully unaware of the fact that the tiny remains of sweet Daisy were being pounded, manhandled and subjected to extreme temperatures.
Even after all this…I did nothing.
…
Still, it was quite a nice Big Mac ™
Da-da da-da-daaa…I’m lovin’ it

andtheres no such thing as a nice bigmac!
howevever, this did make me hungry.
To any vegetarians who use the argument that eating meat is unnatural because "nobody salivates when they look at a cow", you're wrong!
Mmm off to eat a big bloody steak now.

To any vegetarians who use the argument that eating meat is unnatural because "nobody salivates when they look at a cow", you're wrong!I never say eating meat is unnatural.
But hey, canibalism and incest is natural too, so nature shouldn't really be your moral compass. You have to make your own. Eat it if you think it's right, don't eat it if you don't.

Brillzo!You took me one way, then hit me with the punchline! I love your work!

(PS - Not wanting to make too much of the veggie debate, but if we weren't meant to eat meat then why were we given teeth for cutting and tearing? We're Omnivores!)
