Why do humans enjoy spicy food if it was originally created to be a defense mechanism against predators? Are their any other animals who enjoy spicy food?

Gotta remember we use tools and cook our foods nowadays. If you are a normal mammal and you just go face first into a pepper plant you are going to have a bad time.
But if you use your culture and tools you can control the resource exactly like how we are able to control fire when other animals are not.
Long story short. We enjoy spicy food because we consume and expose ourselves to it in very controlled circumstances.
