Raising the money in the first place makes sense, but since the ‘first place’ several compromises and changes were made to facilitate his purchase of the dog for one dollar.
No matter how well intentioned, I really think the money raised should be returned, and a donation to the vest fund asked about, rather than assumed. A quick look says that the money ($3,500) was for the purchase of the dog outright, then MORE for an auction to the highest bidder, and now that money which is no longer for the purchase of the dog since public awareness changed the circumstances, is now for… vests!
But who am I to tell Officer Hickey how to behave? Or GFM how to manage their fund drives when the specific goals, change?
