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.

Hunting RabbitMy first day's hunting, spent hours crawling about a field with a mate trying to get within 25 yards of a rabbit to shoot one. I got close enough eventually and took aim and fired.
GREAT SUCCESS rabbit leaps a few feet and then lays on the floor twitching. Instead of swiftly dealing a death blow to end the rabbits misery I decide a shot to the head is in order.
8 shots later and I still have a twitching corpse at my feet, too squeamish to do anything more I left the rabbit there until it stopped moving.
It did turn out to be a tasty rabbit though and the friend that cooked it went on to become a succesfull chef!
