Yes, the price of animal care often surprises people. But they're just as complex as a human system (if not more so), so why should it be any different? This particular rat was free, but I think we must have spent several hundred dollars on various medical bills and medicines.
A significant part of me does think that it would be better to spend such monies on the sufferings the developing world. It's always about opportunity costs.
