In junior high health class we saw a movie about PCP and it was used as an
animal tranquilizer.  They showed a dentist working on a tiger that was
zonked on PCP.

unpleasent side affects...In 1965 withdrawn form use for humans."  Says it's
used for animals because, "animals could not tell their veterinarians that
they disliked the side affects."
