Accidental animal cruelty
I 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.

duck death
We used to keep ducks growing up. Occasionally we'd get baby chicks, very cute, but with mental deathwishes.
They:
Drowned. (you're a DUCK, how the hell did you drown)
Froze.
Decided to learn to fly for the first time during a force 10 gale. (Takes off, goes backwards at high speed into a wall and breaks it neck)
Eaten by seagulls.
Eaten by foxes.
Got run over.
Eaten by the cat.
Accidentally killed by the dog when he'd get confused between a duckling and a tennis ball and pick them up - usally with no harm but occasionally he'd over do it.
Fall off something.
Get stuck in something.
Choke on something.
Or just die for no apparent reason at all.
Ducks are delicate.

They may be delicate
but they taste great with black-bean sauce.

Drowning
Yeah I heard that lil baby ducks you have to watch 24/7 near water because the drown often. probably because if they dont have parents they don't learn how to swim properly maybe? I dont know, im just guessing!

ducklings drown
because until they grow waterproof oily feathers, their mothers oil the down best they can. Otherwise the down soaks up water like a sponge and the poor darlings drown.
