Off course, everybody should do his share of charity. I just think the 
cost should be in proportion to the benefit. In this case I don't think 
it is.
That Kyle is supporting by making photographs is absolutely legitimate 
and his effort is in proportion to the benefit. But $2000 for a simple 
procedure on a cat is outrageous.
