How far would you go?

First off, I'm not some insensitive clod. Whew glad that's out in the open.

I was scanning the TV channels and came across Animal Planet. An "emergency" type show was on, this time regarding koi. From what I could tell, the medical team had sedated a koi and took xrays of the fish. First off, it's neat to know that can be done.

I didn't watch the show long enough to find out what was wrong with the koi, but surgery was being discussed.

My first reaction was I couldn't believe the money that was being invested in the fish. That fish was being treated better than most humans. My next reaction was if it was our dog I might be doing the same thing, Xrays, the whole 9 yards.

So I'm tryingt o figure out if koi are that valuable, or if someone was fanatic about a pet?
