Accidental animal cruelty
I 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.

Greedy bastard seagulls.
Being the untamed free-spirited rebel I was in high school, I used to walk the half mile or so to the chip shop at dinner time with friends. As this was regular occurence, a brazen flock of seagulls learned that following the various groups of scholars would reward them with discarded chips etc.
Now the route twixt school and chippy was aside a rather busy road, and it was speculated one day (probably after a near miss) about how funny it would be for a car to hit a gull. The challenge was set.
It took a few months, but eventually a gull-ible bird (ha ha see what I did there?!) was tempted into the path of a vauxhall astra by the lure of some deep-fried potato loveliness.
Seagulls are really quite big up close. The astra driver didn't stop. We didn't stop laughing until well into the afternoon.
This sounds absolutely intentional so I better post something by means of a defence.
- A seagull shat on my bag once, it was revenge.
- All we did was throw food, it was the seagull itself who was too greedy to wait until the car had passed.
- Seagulls have also pinched my fishing bait before, ruining days of fishing. I hate the feckers.
