When the Pinecrest Animal Shelter, a charitable organization, was in danger of closing because it could not pay for important repairs, its directors appealed to the townspeople to donate money that would be earmarked to pay for those repairs. █████ ████ █████ ████ ██████████ ███████ ████ ████ ████ ███ ███ ████████ ███ █████████ ████ ██ ██████ ███ ███████ █████ ██ █████ ██████ █████████ ███ ██████ █████ ███ ███ █████████ ██████ ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ ███ ████ ███ ██████████
Summary
The author concludes that before giving surplus donation money to other animal shelters, the directors of the Pinecrest shelter should get permission from the people who made the donations.
Why?
Because after asking the townspeople to donate money to repair Pinecrest shelter, more money came in than was ultimately used for the repairs.
Notable Assumptions
We’re looking for a principle that would help justify the reasoning of the argument, but also places the least restriction on what the directors do with the surplus money. Here’s a principle that might work:
If you asked someone to donate money for a particular purpose, you should ask for permission before using the money they donated for a different purpose.
