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.

Even more seagulls.
Not me, but I witnessed.
A rather non-conservation-minded angler on a pier tied fish hooks to both ends of about 6 feet of line and baited them up. They threw a few scraps around to get the gulls feeding, then threw the 'trap'.
I've never done this myself. I'm too tight to waste decent hooks - they're expensive! and frankly, you have to be more of a cnut than I actually am. I do, however, have an intense dislike of the flying, bait-robbing, shit-bombing, pestering feckers.
The sight of two gulls, unable to fly separately, flapping around like a married couple having a full-on domestic is (I'm ashamed to say) exceptionally funny.
Length? I told you - 6 foot with a hook on each end!
