Hasan Piker, a very popular "streamer" among young people in the US and beyond, has been accused of mistreating his dog.
The streamer with communist views, and accused of supporting the terrorist group Hamas, has attracted attention in his latest broadcast, becoming the target of hundreds of thousands of accusations for mistreating his dog.
He is seen revolted because the dog standing in the background, during the broadcast on the "Twitch" platform, tries to move from the spot, but Hasan calls out to him and then appears to press a button that forces the dog to go back to the spot.
It's called a "Shock Collar" and it's an electroshock collar for dogs. Its use is banned in most countries around the world because it's considered cruelty to animals.
The streamer, originally from a trick, appears to press a button the moment the dog barks, seemingly under stress, and sits back down in his seat.
The footage has sparked a huge wave of outrage with endless comments and complaints, demanding urgent intervention by authorities to protect the animal.
I always wondered how Hasan kept his dog behind him all stream.

It's because he's been using a shock collar on a setting so high that his dog FUCKING SCREAMS when he uses it.
Using your dog as a prop to seem more friendly relatable and down to earth when in reality
