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.

waspsone night, i woke up to a strange buzzing noise and the feeling that the air was moving around in front of me. i put this down to having just woken up and stared blearily at the ceiling until i realised that there were actually hundreds of little black shapes flying about, buzzing. i legged it to the other end of the room and turned on the light.
as it turned out, an entire army of wasp's had found their own nest too cold that night and had decided my lampshade would be the perfect refuge.
at first, i tried booting a load of them with a book. i got about forty. then, when they kept coming, i dared to stand underneath my lampshade and peer inside. it was indeed an entire waspish army. tearfully, i picked up my duvet and went down to sleep on the sofa, unkeen to be stung and aware that id never be able to kill all of them by morning. when i was discovered in the morning, shivering on the cold leather sofa, the wasps had all disappeared.
id been forced to evacuate my room by waspy fiends. but, i did manage to not swallow any AND i did kill a lot of them. i took a photo of the woeful pile of squashed bodies the next morning but i cant find it.
