But not as much as Anne Lowery of Tampa, Florida.
The Daily News, the Brit version thereof, reports that Miss Lowery spent more than 100,000 dollars on chemotherapy treatment for her pet parrot Areba. Sadly Areba has passed so Miss Lowery has said a tearful to the bird after it lost its battle against cancer.
Areba, a Wagler's Conure, underwent chemotherapy for almost a year but the 42-year-old bird passed away on Tuesday evening at Tampa's Florida Veterinary Specialists.
Cared for round the clock by Dr Teresa Lightfoot and her team at the Avian and Exotic animal ward, Areba had been battling a form of skin cancer since October of 2008.
It does sound crazy to spend over 100K on a pet but Areba had been with Miss Lowery for thirty plus years and the money squeezed an extra nine months out of her life.

this sick bird had been with this woman for 30 years!! And it sounds crazy to you she'd want to spend money to help her pet? Just think how much money people pay for THINGS, that are 'dead' and give so little in return.
