A. Some people prefer Stainless Steel for its quality, durability and superior rust resistance. But due to the expense of Stainless some choose Zinc plated hardware. History shows that electroplated zinc, due to its hardness, has proven safe for animals. However the softer hot dipped zinc process does have adverse affects on some birds and animals when ingested.
