    He just showed the collar on stream. It’s a vibrating collar with an airtag slot, built-in flashlight, tracker, and sound alert. No prongs on the underside of the little box.

      Came here to say this. It’s the pinned comment on his stream explaining it, which I guess shows you how much this has blown up

      Edit: this is the exact text:

      It is a collar with an airtag and a vibration motor, that is used to help with recall when she’s free-roaming as she’s an off-leash trained dog. It flashes red when the vibration is used. That didn’t happen in the clip. It has no shock component.

        Specifically, it’s this family of collars, by the shock-collar insisters own research. And before this comment was posted, not a single one of them in this post have called it out.

        Curious how they never once post the actual product, despite analyzing the video to such an extent that they have a high quality image of it in his hand but never thought to look it up.

        Curious how I found this product in 3 seconds using one Google search and the commenters own research.

        Most curiously, this is not a shock collar. This is a vibration collar with the prongs removed. The vibration can be set from a very weak sensation to one that can be unpleasant. The weak setting can, and is, used in conjunction with positive reinforcement to train for recall.

        The highest setting can be used by irresponsible owners, yes. I’d be suspicious of a bourgeois class traitor that has some usefulness but I’ve seen no other evidence of animal abuse. Once I do I’d be happy to say he’s an abuser.

        But isn’t it just fucking weird how none of these accusers even here with their exhaustive research mention any of this?

        Curiously, these posters are allowed to spam this post with the same comment copy/pasted, never replying to the actual rebuttals, but if I do the same thing to their comments, I’ll get banned.

        Most curious how these tactics are exactly how Israelis operate.

      It was obvious it was not a normal dog collar, but I got called a bunch of names for pointing out the obvious, as usual. Think this is the 101st time this happened lmao.

      Wonderful website we have here folks. Where you get called a federal agent, NATO propagandist, Ethan/Destiny orbiter, concern troll, and all sorts of things for having a healthy amount of skepticism. Great community everybody!
