    At what point do you just buy gray rats? Where in the cost benefit analysis does boiling rats in ink come in?

      I guess when buying 11000 rats you are somewhat constrained in your choice of color. It’s not like you can order them made in a custom color.

        It’s not like they needed all 11000 of them. Half of them died from being submerged in boiling dye… Surely, it would have been easier with half a magnitude smaller quantity.

          I’m surprised that half of them survived. Aside, that is cartoonishly evil.
