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.

Squirrels are well 'ardMy stepdad's dad has still got scars from tangling with these evil little bastards. He was just out doing his gardening when one flew out of nowhere and latched itself onto his neck.
After considerable effort removing it, he proceeded to hit it with a shovel. Hard. This did not have the desired effect of making it dead, and just seemed to make it growl a lot and try and make my stepdad's dad bleed more.
Eventually he hit it so hard that it hacked the furry sod in half. He swears it was still clawing at him, growling until it finally died.
Don't mess with squirrels!

...I once got bitten by a squirrel. Rabid bastard.
I mean: do I look like a freakin' acorn?

GarethI'd imagine the ones that don't would be well 'ard in a different way. ;)
Also, for those who are wondering where the unintentional element is, he had intended on killing it with as little mess as possible, yet ended up hitting it several times with a shovel instead.

bin squirrelsWhen we were at school we were loitering somewhere and same a squirrel climb up a wall then into a bin that was attached to it. It was a massive squirrel the size of a cat*.
My mate went over to see what happened he looked over the top and he said there was a split second where they just stared at each other then teh squirrel jumped straight up in the air bounced of the wall, matrixstylee, and landed on my mate. It then ran up him and ran around his neck and shoulders whilst he ran around like ace ventura when he gets bats in his hair. it eventually jumped off and legged it.
but it seems bin squirrels are very big and dnagerous from eating our lefovers instead of little acorns.
