Why is chocolate bad for all animals except humans?

Quetzalcoatl wanted it that way - it's our special snack, animals can fuck off.

Plants’ main objective is to make baby plants. Some, like cacao, peppers, coffee beans, have opted to be bad for some/most animals so they don’t get eaten. Turns out that humans are pretty metal and like chocolate, capsaicin (the spicy compound in peppers), and caffeine.

It's also theorized that humans consumed these things to help with parasites
