1 sure looks like him activating a shock collar because he doesn't want her allowed to do anything other than sit in one designated spot while he's doing his stream

2 is self-explanatory

The tightness of the collar and his reaction to her saying is sus, especially if he didn't fix it. I'm guessing he did or you or the video would mention it.., but really? a shock collar? This video doesn't show anything like what you've described. All I could tell was that the dog yapped at one point and... that's it... Admittedly I have zero experience with shock collars. If this is a regular thing he does then surely there's more than one example?

Why would you assume that? I have no idea. I would be fine trying to dig up the rest of the clip to see context, although I don't know if I would succeed. Given his reaction I would be pretty surprised if he fixed it.

This video doesn’t show anything like what you’ve described. All I could tell was that the dog yapped at one point and… that’s it…

You can literally see the shock collar box on her at 0:13 when she turns away to go back to the platform. He also claims that she "clipped herself", when he wasn't looking at her and would have no idea why she suddenly gave a big sharp yelp right at the same moment when he reached for something off screen.

If he was telling the truth, he would say "I have no idea why she made that noise, she's a big baby" or something. That is literally the only explanation that he would have that even could be truthful. The fact that he even has an explanation for what happened that made her yelp means he is lying.

People on Reddit have also slowed down and brightened the footage, and it's very clear that she didn't bump herself or anything on any object, that just suddenly out of nowhere she made this sudden yelping noise and also changed her mind about wanting to get off the little platform and go walk around.

You can draw your own conclusions of course but I am not sure why people could see this and come to any other conclusion.

Okay I thought about this, looked into it, scanned your clip some more, and unless there's more instances of something like this happening, this is a one huge nothing-burger. If there was more evidence you would have provided more evidence. There's absolutely nothing conclusive in this video.

Also ... priorities ... Why are you outraged about this specifically? There are plenty of animals including humans being abused off camera out there by non-celebrities. Venting online is one thing, but your account seems primarily dedicated to this subject.

I still despise the notion of political influencers, but this is what upsets you? Really? There is too much ragebait -- real or not -- on the internet for it to make sense to me that this would be what you care about. Does all suffering need to be: specifically on camera; solely with an animal you selectively empathize with; and exclusively that of the one leftist influencer I've ever seen mentioned in corporate owned media?

No, I refuse to let this matter take up any of my headspace. Maybe I will donate to a local animal shelter instead. Use my energy for that.

It's a perfect storm of things for me to get irritated about: Politics, plus someone being mean to some other entity that can't fight back, plus people in internet comments saying things to me that are objectively wrong. It's like a flag to a bull.

What a hypocrite. In the end this isn't some kind of moral, principled stand, it's just autism.
