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.

Poor fishIn my second year of uni, whilst living in a shared house with some friends, two of my flatmates decided to buy some fish from the randomly placed fish shop down the road.
Lovely pretty fish, we thought. One of them had gigantic eyes - all was good in the world.
Except then they all caught some scary fish disease that involved their gills going all bloody and gapey, and one by one they floated to the top of the tank.
Unfortunately one of them just swam on its back, obviously distressed, opening its mouth in a prolonged death gasp. So my kindly flatmate decided to put it out of its misery by wrapping it in a teatowel and smashing it repeatedly with a frying pan until it was a scaly mess of guts. We were so freaked out we threw the teatowel in a pile on the floor and sat there shaking with fear for a few hours.
