Not all animals. Mammals (spicy, ow) and insects (insecticide). Birds are unaffected and are the pepper's preferred "conveyance method" for their seeds. It's neat!

Plants, like frat boys, are just trying to plant seeds far and wide. Birds help with that, in the plants case.

Yes, but I did read that the leading theory is that the seeds are too fragile for chewing, which is a mostly mammalian thing.
