I wonder, I know birds supposedly aren't sensitive to the
effects of our beloved chiles but are dogs and other mammals?
I thought that most are, since pepper spray is effective on
K-9s and I heard a story about some bastards who caught
a bear in a live trap and tricked it into eating a bunch of
hot chiles.  Are these dogs that you all speak of the exception
to the rule?  Are they some sort of freaks of nature?  My
German Shorthair eats only her dog food and rarely gets
any table scraps so I don't know if she likes peppers or not.
She's sort of a wimpy dog so I don't really want to test out
this theory on her.
