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.

Boiled fishMy parents had a huge fish tank in the living room before I was born. They had loads of expensive tropical fish in it. My dad decided the tank needed a good scrub, and new gravel, and a new diver or whatever, and transferred the fish into a bucket. They were cheerful enough - but 'oh no', he thought, 'I mustn't let them get cold!' So he then put the heater thing for the fuck-off-massive tank into the tiny little bucket and set about the long-ish task of cleaning out the tank.... oops.

Shouldn't have been a problem if the thermostat on the heater was working. If it wasn't it would have boiled the big tank too.
