Dogs Licking Toads to Get High

Tuesday, February 22, 2005

And then there's this story in The Advertiser about dogs in Northern Territory, Australia, licking the backs of cane toads to get high:
Dogs were licking the backs of the warty pests and becoming addicted to the hallucinogenic poison, a NT vet said yesterday. Megan Pickering, a vet in Katherine, said she had treated a number of dogs affected by the deadly toad poison.

"We have had quite a number of cases of dogs that are getting addicted to the toxin," Ms Pickering said. "There seems to be dogs that are licking the toxin to get high.
I'm sure Mike Peters could do something with Grimmy on this.
