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.

True, it is life on a farm, or in the countrysideAnd the chances are that those poor little birds would have met with a sticky end anyway in the shape of either a fox, badger, gun or a speeding car.
Actually this is just one of the reasons that farmers have quite a high suicide rate (along with Doctors and Vets apparently) - because they are used to seeing life and death on an almost daily basis...added to which all of those professions have ready access to the necessary equipment for topping oneself.
