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.

Saw a dying pigeon in the woods,Its wings were both broke and it could only wriggle around the floor.
This dilemma is a hard one for someone whos only 13.
So me and my friends decided to kill it before a cat ate it alive, because we thought this would be better.
Well we stood around discussing who should do the deed and how.
We thought about hitting it with a big stick, standing on it etc..
Anyway my friend had had enough of the wimpyness, so being a rugby player he charged up to it and toe end kicked the pigeon as hard as he could.
It flew about 20 metres and hit a tree and slid down like they do in the cartoons.
Anyway, we discovered it wasnt dead and my friend had left the poor thing which was now just a bloody, wriggling mess, with what looked like a broken spine and ribs. None of us had the heart to try it again so we all ran away.
Pretty funny when I think about it, but very mean.
