    He may or may not have used a shock collar on his dog while livestreaming. I didn’t care about him enough to follow the story to its conclusion, but some people identified the collar as a shock collar while he claimed he removed the metal probes.

      He did not shock his dog, but there is a clip where he reaches off screen and then the dog, who was moving at the time, yelps.

      Circumstantial evidence at best, but of course the haters RAN with it. No one wants the anti-gambling, anti-zionist, anti-capitalist streamer to be popular. It’s incredible the bullshit they spread about this guy.

        The dog also does exactly what a punished dog does, droopy ears and moving slowly to the spot they think you want them at, and the dog sitting in 1 spot for 10 hours a day. Granted I haven’t had or seen every dog breed in existance, but I have never seen a dog do any of the things in the video without being shocked yelled at hit or scolded.

      This has always been baseless conjecture and was promoted by Israeli media.

      The only people who believe it are hogs.

        I said “may or may not” and yall clarified the outcome of the allegations. Most people here said it was right-wing pundits being inflammatory shitheads, so good‐-the dog wasn’t hurt.
