Have you ever had a dog (specifically a large breed) before?

Edit: fuck shock collars, btw. Hope the implication here is not that big dogs need them. See my reply below.

If your next point is that a shock collar is necessary to train a large dog, first of all you're wrong about that. But let's say it is. Do you think it's ethical to "train" the dog to sit in the same spot on camera for hours on end, for streamer content? Because you'd be wrong there too. There is no defending Hasan's treatment of his dog.

It’s not a fucking shock collar anyways he literally showed the model and everything.

[-] SarahValentine 12 points 3 weeks ago

He suckered you. Congratulations, you're gullible.

[-] Chronographs@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 weeks ago

I’d say the same to you, his evidence was pretty convincing

[-] HertzDentalBar 14 points 3 weeks ago

We live in a post evidence world. These folks don't accept any evidence that goes against their views.

You sound exactly like a MAGA

That was not my next point. It was not a shock collar, it was a big dog getting her dew claw caught on her bed and yelping. That's it.

I've had big, clumsy dogs. They are always hurting themselves and knocking shit over with their awkward appendages.

I appreciate your measured response, but just parroting the Hasan defenders' damage control narrative at me without anything else to back it up, is not at all convincing.

To be clear though, I think ICE supporters are rabid Zionists. Evangelical religion fills their mind with Zionist propaganda, particularly concerning the so-called "end times" and Israel's place in that sequence of events.

I just wish people would learn about these things from someone less shitty than Hasan. Cults of personality where thousand of rabid parasocial youths descend upon their hero's perceived enemies with personal attacks at the slightest provocation are bad, no matter which way they lean politically, and Hasan makes his living off it.

Most of you keep your dog in a tiny hot backyard. Kaya is living a better life than you.

Go on and share a clip of him using the shock collar. I will wait. Everything you are saying is based on assumptions made by people who support Trump and Israel.

I have! They're beautiful. I never needed anything more than a standard leash and collar.

That said, I know nothing about this incident or the random Internet personality that no one seems to care about. I'm just chiming in because I like dogs.

Edit: I should also mention that I'm not a little prepubescent boy who can't control an animal. Is that relevant to the topic?
