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.

@ancrenneI think that you're right - it fits my earlier claim. Someone can quite coherently say something along the lines of "It's wrong, but it's FUN - and I care more about fun". I'm simplifying, but I think the sketch is OK.
And I think that the Loon's claim about some people being evil is a bit unsatisfactory - again, it seems to let Hitler off the hook if he was simply built that way, and I'm not prepared to let that one go through without a fight. Plus, I'd want a non-question-begging definition of "evil".
Phew! Hometime, I think!
