An Italian ethnobotanist explores the remarkable propensity of wild animals to seek out and use psychoactive substances. - Throws out behaviorist theories that claim animals have no consciousness. - Offers a completely new understanding of the role psychedelics play in the development of consciousness in all species. - Reveals drug use to be a natural instinct. From caffeine-dependent goats to nectar addicted ants, the animal kingdom offers amazing examples of wild animals and insects seeking out and consuming the psychoactive substances in their environments. Author Giorgio Samorini explores this little-known phenomenon and suggests that, far from being confined to humans, the desire to experience altered states of consciousness is a natural drive shared by all living beings and that animals engage in these behaviors deliberately. Rejecting the Western cultural assumption that using drugs is a negative action or the result of an illness, Samorini opens our eyes to the possibility that beings who consume psychedelics--whether humans or animals--contribute to the evolution of their species by creating entirely new patterns of behavior that eventually will be adopted by other members of that species. The author's fascinating accounts of mushroom-loving reindeer, intoxicated birds, and drunken elephants ensure that readers will never view the animal world in quite the same way again.Binding Type: Paperback

Low calorie and great for dog training
Flavor Name: Rabbit, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3), Flavor Name: Rabbit, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 3)
A trainer recommended these for training and our dog loves the taste. They are small and easily handled. There are some larger/longer pieces that can easily be broken in half. With these I am not worried about her spoiling her dinner or gaining extra weight. They don't have much of a smell and being dry, my hands stay relatively clean. She has no problem chewing them as the texture is firm but soft being freeze dried. It can be easy to go through them quickly which made buying the three pack an easy decision.

Great for training
These are a great option for training sessions with my young puppies and fit a lot in a training pouch for accessibility. There are a lot of treats for what you pay.

Small quick treat
Flavor Name: Rabbit, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Great treats. My boys loved them. They do vary in size and quite a few crumbs were left over in the bottom of the bag. No smell and they are not chewy, but cruchy because of the freeze dried process so I know they will hold up over time. Some pieces were thick but not hard. Being that these are freeze dried treats, the longevity should be great!
