Comment on Why exactly are raisins toxic for dogs and not humans?

Every plant is poisonous. Humans are basically the only mammal that eats capsaicin, caffeine, menthol. Grapes are toxic for everything except a few things. Plants don't have the ability to pull out a gun to defend itself and so it uses poison, or irritants like thorns. This isn't limited to pants with animals. Plants are also toxic to other plants. The example that I deal with the most is black walnut. I tried growing plants and when I used the walnut leaves for mulch it would kill the plants I tried growing.
