@miscreant17: In early October 2025, Hasan Piker, also known as HasanAbi, was accused of using a shock collar on his dog, Kaya, during a livestream. In the clip that went viral, Kaya was resting behind Hasan on a raised bed. When she stepped off it, viewers heard her yelp, and Hasan appeared to reach toward something near him. Many people interpreted that moment as Hasan activating a shock collar to keep the dog from moving. After the clip spread widely on Reddit, X, and Twitch commentary channels, Hasan responded on stream and later on social media. He showed the collar and said it does not have an electric shock function. According to him, the collar uses vibration and sound only, and it also has an Apple AirTag attached so he can track Kaya when she’s outside. He explained that Kaya yelped because she “stepped wrong” or “clipped her dewclaw,” not because of any electric stimulation. A dog sitter named Caroline Kwan, who has cared for Kaya, backed up Hasan’s statement, saying she had seen the collar and it was not a shock collar. Critics, however, pointed out that the model Hasan uses appears similar to certain collars that do have shock capabilities, though they can also be configured to vibrate only. Some people alleged that the metal prongs on the collar had been removed or taped over, suggesting it may have originally been a shock-capable design. The disagreement quickly became one of Twitch’s biggest controversies of the year. Viewers debated whether the clip actually showed abuse or simply an unfortunate misunderstanding. The incident was nicknamed “Collargate” or “Dogtober 7th” online. PETA and various animal-welfare advocates commented on the controversy, urging transparency and caution with training tools. Hasan, in turn, emphasized that Kaya is well cared for and “the most spoiled dog on the planet.” No concrete evidence has emerged proving that Hasan delivered a shock at that moment. The discussion remains divided between those convinced the sound and his hand movement indicate a shock, and those who accept his explanation that it was a vibration-only collar and an accidental yelp. The situation highlights both the rapid spread of viral clips and the ethical questions around using pets as part of livestream setups. #funny #fypシ゚ #fyp #viral #blowthisup
