A twitch streamer named Hasan used a shock collar to keep his dog in the same position during his live stream. Internet did it’s thing and matched the collar to a shock collar with a remote control. Despite him denying it internet pulled up multiple statements from the past such as him saying “shock collars are fine”.
I don’t follow this guy so this is news to be but the article is about people accusing him of using a shock collar and while the video does look suspicious, I don’t see anything about identifying the collar.
You gotta provide a better source if you’re gonna claim that as fact.
yeah fully second this… The evidence for it are vague at best… and to quintuple it up… The dude apparently lives on live stream, just looking at his streaming stats it looks like he’s literally streaming 4-8 hours every single day, with his dog coming up in the background. Someone wants to say he’s abusing that dog because they found one 5 second clip of one event that seems hypothetically questionable, that’s kind of crazy to me. I can’t think of a person who’s interactions with his dog are more regularly visible to the public then him, and one incident of the dog yelping for half a second before laying down comfortably on a dog bed… being used as evidence that he’s a horrific animal abuser, seems like such an extreme stretch.
as even if we gave the critics 100% trust, and even if we somehow conclude that it is in fact a shock collar, and we were to conclude that he used it this time in this situation… clearly he uses it pretty damn sparingly when over half of his waking hours around his dog, are visible for the whole world to watch.
I don’t really have an opinion either way, I just want to see evidence of what they’re claiming is true. The linked article doesn’t even hint at evidence.
I also clicked on the link in the OP (which in turn linked me to the post on /r/livestreamfails - truly one of the most degenerate subreddits in existence). I scrolled down pretty far and saw couple screenshots of the collar and that’s it. If someone identified the model, it was buried too far down in the shit than I was willing to wade through.

The memes have been awesome I concede:
