Do the SEEDs of 'Rabbit Foot Grass (Polypogon monspeliensis) cause any problems for pets like 'Foxtails'?

...of the "Hordeum" family? Access links below for pictures to compare them by: Rabbit's Foot Grass--photos http://www.biosurvey.ou.edu/okwild/rabbitgrass.html Rabbitfoot polypogon--photo & info http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/rabbitfoot_polypogon.html Compare those to: One type of so-called 'Foxtail', but really it is: 'Hare barley' ("Hordeum murinum ssp. leporinum") http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/hare_barley.html ^It says about 'Hare barley': "...At maturity the spikelets have stiff, barbed, needle-like awns, and sharp bases that can injure the mouth, eyes, nasal passages, ears, and skin of animals..." I read elsewhere that they have even been found in animal's brain, and, lung tissues (among others)! Another so-called 'Foxtail', but really it is: "Foxtail barley" / "skunktail" / "squirreltail" (Hordeum jubatum) http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/foxtail_barley.html(%22Hordeum jubatum") Compare those to True Foxtails: "Foxtails" ("Setaria") http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/foxtails.html "Yellow foxtail" ("Setaria pumila") http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/WEEDS/yellow_foxtail.html ALSO, do TRUE "Foxtails" ("Setaria") cause any such problems with pets? IF there IS info or personal experience about "RABBIT's FOOT GRASS" harming animals, PLEASE share the source of the info, as well as a quote. If it is your personal experience, please MAKE SURE it IS "Rabbit's Foot Grass" you had trouble with, rather than what is commonly known as 'Foxtail'! "Rabbit's Foot Grass" is reportedly EATEN by BIRDs (thus my interest.)* http://plants.ifas.ufl.edu/node/335 Thank You for Your Help!
