"A $50,000 prosthesis for a dog that lost a leg: clearly immoral. "

Why? It may be foolish, it may be on the short end of a cost benefit analysis, but I don't see why it is immoral on its face.

"I don't see why it is immoral on its face."

Because $50,000 is a sum that could pay for operations or chemotherapy for human beings that would otherwise die, and the delivery of the funds and the medical services is practical. People are more important than animals.
