Due to the recent thread about the guy who stepped on his kitten, I thought maybe it would be cool to have a thread where we can all share stories about pets we accidentally killed. Sometimes it's cathartic for a community to share stories of loss when confronted with tragedy. This isn't a mean thread; I'd like for this to be a place of healing. Please do not shame fellow pet killers in this thread. It happens. Pets are fragile. We do the best we can. I'll start: I had a pair of fire belly newts when I was a kid. One time I left the lid on their aquarium ajar, and they used their squishy leech-man feet to climb up the glass and escape. I only ever found one of them; weeks later I moved my dresser from the wall and discovered its dried out corpse. I was terribly sad.

Ive killed fishes before. I tried really hard with the last fish I had but it was a big sideways goldfish that had been kept in a too small tank forever before a family friend sloughed him off on me. I retanked him into a freaking 40 gallon, but no matter how I hosed with the tank chemistry and how many drat peas I fed the thing he just wouldn't straighten up & eventually he went permanently upside down

My little sister once Lenny'd a recently hatched baby duckling when she was, idk, three or four. She was inconsolable. It was a bad scene.
