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.

Sisters RabitCalled Smokey Joe or some other stupid girly name.
Lived in a hutch at the bottom of the garden next to the shed / workshop. I used to shoot my air rifles down the garden into the shed. One day bored of punching holes in paper and knocking tin cans about I decided I needed more of a challenge... I opened the shed door so it was edge on and tried to hit the lock on it... I succeeded!
Unfortunately the pellet ricochet's into the rabits hutch and causes the poor rabbit to have a heart attack and pop its clogs!
I quickly packed away and kept schtum for the rest of the day.
The following day my sister discovers her expired pet and the tears flow. General concensus is that a Fox worried the rabbit in the night and caused the untimely demise.
I never did own up to that
