Who paid the bill?

I did. And many other people here in NL as well. Either because of buying tickets or because they donate ( https://www.artis.nl/nl/steun-artis )

What I wonder about is why there is so much focus on the cost, rather than on the tech and the fact that this is a very tricky thing to do for a living creature.

Not OP but I did laugh because I saw the joke in the use of the word bill.

Edit for none English speakers the words beak and Bill are often used interchangeably to mean a bird's beak or bill.

Ahh, good one, that went totally over my head.

Yup that was the pun I made.

The best jokes are like that. And it was in the title so I probably should have noticed.

Americans. Cost and value are everything, and it has poisoned every level of society.
