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.

Evidenceooh ooh ooh! me me me!
(long time reader, first qotw post)
Constable Crunch (my uncle) is a policeman on a small Mediterranean island.
This is a particularly laid-back island, where laws are pretty much considered as 'guidelines', and as long as you don't do anything bad to anyone else, then everyone's happy.
Just last week, aforementioned uncle was out doing the rounds in hunting season and discovered a hunter who'd been shooting bunnies outside of the boundaries of the hunting zone. Deciding that the paperwork wouldn't be too much of a bother (as he was having a slow day anyway), he brings in hunter, plus gun and recently-shot rabbit to the police station.
Grandmother's house is on the way to the police station, so in order to avoid the car getting smelly and bloody from various entrails and what-have-you, he deposits the leporid carcass on the back steps of grandma's house to dispose of later.
Having dealt with all the paperwork and handed the gun in as evidence, the desk Sergeant inquires as to the whereabouts of said bunny, as it would be required for evidence.
"Fair enough," thinks Uncle, and plods off to grandma's house to find an empty space where our four-legged friend had lain.
"Dinner's ready!" comes the call from the kitchen. Uncle walks in to find a fresh rabbit stew bubbling happily on the stove. Oops.
* Epilogue *
So, he did the honourable thing and asked his brothers if any of them had shot a rabbit that day, as he might possibly require it for, er, official business. Luckily, the evidence was replicated nicely and the perpetrator was slapped with a fine and let go.
The rabbit stew was lovely, apparently.
Penis joke.
*Edit:
Tenuous link to topic: so I guess the accidental stewing of a rabbit led to the demise of another one. ish.
