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.

I killed a Guinea PigI used to have a Saturday job in a Pet Shop, we would look after peoples pets when they where on holiday.
The first hour of the day was cleaning cages, feeding the animals in the back of the shop. I came in one day and the owners where off and we where short staffed, so we had to get through it pretty quickly.
I got the hutches to do, there was a new guinea pig in, so he was moved to the spare cage and the old bedding rolled up in the newspaper used to line the bottom.
Thought nothing more of it unil I got in the following week to be told that there was actually 2. The owner found it in the bin rolled up in a newspaper coffin.
