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

Don't care one way or the other about the streamer but this is some wild shit to be so upset about. Guy in heated political rant looks at dog and dog yelps. Uh... OK? There's real, genuinely vile animal abuse in the world and we need to get riled up over this well groomed and pampered dog yelping because it might have gotten shocked.

Even if we choose to break it down like the Zapruder film and find a shock collar what does that mean? Is the mere existence of a shock collar on a dog evidence of animal abuse? Is there real proof that it was used in this clip? Would irrefutable evidence of one shock completely demolish this man's credibility? If you care because he's a public figure that could be normalizing abusive behavior then why don't you repost some headlines about that Maga lady shooting dogs in her back yard or any of the dog fighting stories that pop up from time to time?

They don't actually give a shit about the dog or the validity of the accusations, they're just interested in attacking the streamer. Just as parasocial and deranged as any rabid fan, just from a different emotional direction.

I'd guess people who are upset about shock collars are also upset about dogs getting shot
