I'd like to believe that instead of a self defense, animals are lured to eat the buds because they make the animal feel good. Thus, they would eat seeds and transfer them back to the soil, to allow another plant to grow.

So I'm not that into botony or anything, but I do know that when plants have unique characteristics, it is the result of a unique set of problems it had to overcome.
