How much would you spend to save a geriatric chicken from cancer?

This is just obscene.

This world is getting sicker and sicker. Bambiism is spreading everywhere.

Formerly, these issues were transformed in chicken soup, fast and easy. Now they throw 1000 Pounds at a dying hen. Just imagine how many game wardens that money would pay in Africa or Siberia...

More funny than disgusting if you ask me

If people want to spend a grand on a dying chicken, there will be someone somewhere making good money and laughing at them...

I've amputated a few Chicken Legs in my day, too - they're called Drumsticks.

The vet will be laughing all the way to the bank!!!

Gerry, that comment made my day

I have worked in the poultry industry for nearly 20 years, and this is the craziest story I have ever heard.

I think the one that need treatment is Elaine Denny. She obviously hit her head pretty hard.

Man, most urban pet vets live on this kind of business, don't they!?

I just got the bill in for two cows that had LDA(stomach) ops, £65 each op + £25.50 call out + £35 drugs

How many chicken would that money buy?

My terrier needs stitches once in a while, for what you pay for a complete OP my veterinarian already charges for the anesthesia...

I just Googled the exchange rate

1,000 British pounds = $1,996.92 US dollars.

Some people have way more money than brains.
