How would you propose to address internet begging that is really just people not wanting to pay for something expensive with their own money?

The link below is a good example - This person wants people to give him money to buy a breed of dog he has always wanted, but it is expensive.

Craigslist is another example, just in the pets section, far too often there are people asking for a free expensive small purebred puppy (Maltese or Pomeranian for example), because they are broke (for whatever reason), but they have always wanted one. Does that fit the definition of begging? http://www.getjorgehispuppy.com/

He maintains asking for money for something he has always wanted is not begging.

Begging for something they want just because they want it (need is not an issue here) is not addressed, and it is annoyingly common.
