One-legged Chicken Receives Cancer Treatment

By Miss Cellania in Animals & Pets on Mar 6, 2008 at 9:39 am

Eve, a hen in Worcestershire, had a leg amputated 18 months ago due to cancer. Now she has undergone surgery to remove a tumor from her remaining leg, at a cost of over £1,000. Owner Elaine Denney said money is not an issue.

“I wouldn’t put Eve through it if I didn’t think she still would have quality of life and if I thought she would suffer too much during the treatment.”

Link -via Arbroath, who has the video report.

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

Quality of life … for a chicken? wtf?

It’s just an effing chicken!

Have it for dinner and go buy another one.

Obviously not. Brains (or the lack there of) is the issue.

I’d hazard a guess the owner has no problem eating the unborn young of this cancerous fowl.

A chicken this good you don’t eat all at once.

Hmmm cancerous tumor doesn’t sound too delicious…

That’s probably why she wants to get it into ship-shape, so it’ll make a better meal!
