Post subject: Dogs 'high' on cane toad toxin |

I got a kick out of this story...
DOGS in the Northern Territory are getting "high" on cane toads.
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.

"They lick the toads and only take in a small amount of the poison – they get a smile on their face and look like they are going to wander off into the sunset."
Katherine, about three hours drive south of Darwin, has been ravaged by the cane toads for about three years. |
