Well, I also got a PM, probably very similar to the one posted here (haven't read it). The PM I received is an ad hominem attack; and to make sure Gophergunner didn't have to defend his words, he immediately removed himself from the conversation.
I'm sorry, but that's pedantic.
Look, these rescue organizations represent everything that is diametrically opposed to what a hunter stands for. If he had posted that he was donating money to HSUS, everybody would have jumped all over him. Yet, in essence, that is what he did: spend money (that he didn't have to) on a dog from a rescue organization. In essence, these organizations are using dogs to generate revenue for their political goals. What's next, donating to Handgun Control to get some swag?
Yet, because there's a dog involved, it's supposed to be OK to financially support the enemy? That sounds terrifiyingly similar to "its for the children", or "if it only saves one life".
