7. Pets are more vulnerable than humans to the affects of the deadly fumes that non-stick pans give off

Pets are more vulnerable than humans to the detrimental affects of the toxic fumes that non-stick pots and pans give off when used in cooking. Birds, however, are especially vulnerable to these toxic fumes, due to their extremely efficient and sensitive respiratory systems. That's why I eliminated non-stick pots, pans and even irons from my house when I started owning exotic birds.

Come to think of it, if non-stick pots, pans, etc., are that bad for pets, are they really any better for humans? I'm somewhat inclined to say--no, not really.
