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.

SeagullsI hate seagulls, vicious horrible birds. Frankspencer's post has just reminded me of one.
I used to employ this fisherman (call him E). Every year in Looe they have a trawler race and the boat just happened to be down there with E racing it on it. The race for non-owners is unofficial, so I didn't even know at the time they were entering.
Having won the race, they proceeded to get drunk, as fishermen do. Eating fish and chips on the quay, pissed, with all the summer holidaymakers, the seagulls take their opportunity to try and steal titbits of food from people eating fish and chips. E got very wound up about one particular seagull who wouldn't leave his food alone, so he enticed the gull to his side, grabbed its neck and pulled the head off and threw it in the harbour.
Well done I say :)

LooeUsed to holiday there as a kid. Is that sea-lion still knocking about in the harbour? There was something that made him stand out from the others, did he only have one eye, or am I imagining things?
Anyway, he was great... and so was Looe, I could talk about it for hours, but I won't.
