FUMES FROM A GENERAL ELECTRIC SELFCLEANING OVEN MURDERED 3 OF MY BELOVED PARROTS. TWO OF MY MACAWS, CHRISTMAS, A HARLEQUIN & HARLEY, A GREENWING, WERE DEAD WITHIN 20 MINUTES. PETEY, WHO HAD SURVIVED A FALL & PARALYSIS, , FOUR YEARS PREVIOUSLY, SUCCUMBED WITHIN THREE DAYS. NECROPSIES WERE PERFORMED ON ALL THREE BIRDS, WHO DID DIE BECAUSE OF RESPIRATORY FAILURE. ALL BIRDS DISPLAYED SIMILAR POST MORTEM FINDINGS, DIFFUSE CONGESTION OF SEVERAL ORGANS. THE LUNGS OF ALL THREE BIRDS HAD “SEVERE, ACUTE PULMAARY HEMORRAGING, SUFFICIENTLY SEVERE TO BE THE CAUSE OF DEATH.” THE VISUAL AND MICROSCOPIC FINDINGS ARE CONSISTANT WITH WHAT OCCURS WITH PTFE(POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE) TOXICITY. (COPY OF REPORT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST) GE REFEUSES TO PLACE WARNING LABELS ON THEIR PRODUCTS. GE LEFT THIS HORRENDOUS MESSAGE ON MY ANSWERING MACHINE. “IT IS IN GOD’S HANDS WHETHER YOUR BIRDS LIVE OR DIE.’ DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR BIRD(S), OTHER PETS OR YOUR BABY. PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION. HELP PREVENT MORE NEEDLESS DEATHS.
