Wow, that’s incredible! Great to see so much money going to help the animals!
That’s some serious coin though!

Good for them, you can’t take all that money with you. I have a feeling that those able to buy these auction tags aren’t that affected by the cash outlay. I like to think if I had those type of resources I’d do the same
