Lethal Drugs stolen

I see from the Echo website that 'Lethal drugs have been stolen in a burglary at a Vet's surgery'.

 

Why are stolen drugs always 'Lethal'?

 

Couldn't they describe them better? 'Really scrummy drugs', 'Brilliant drugs', 'You'll have a fantastic evening drugs'?:confused:

Well I suppose if there were any drugs stolen that were capable of putting the average domestic animal to sleep, they would be considered lethal. You'd only have to increase the dosage by a tad and off you'd go to bye-bye land, never to return.

 

Of course, it always helps a headline. I'd hate to be a journalist, having to write the news in such a way so that it attracts rubber neckers.

Domestic animal? Vets can prescribe far more powerful drugs than doctors, think cows and horses.
