I haven't explored what "Rabbid Puppies" is, although I've come across the name Vox Day here and there.
Is a rough summary, a group of like-minded individuals who seek to use various means at their disposal to influence the selection of Hugo nominees based on the author's/work's political leanings?
If so, it's quite honourable for an author to refuse the nomination. Although, I wouldn't hold it against anyone to hold onto the nomination if they thought that would ultimately be better for their career.
