Here are some key takeaways from the video evidence presented in the last few hours.
The dog has undeniably been trained with a shock collar. Hasan, his followers, and his handlers will try to deny this reality.
-There is video evidence of the collar and electrocution.
-He was going to tell that woman exactly what it was before his shoulder demon checked his tongue. We know why the collar was tight to the dog's neck, your guest did not.
-The dog sits there, for hours and hours, all the time. It is trained through electrocution to have this behavior. This type of confinement is loosely comparable to what a bile-bear suffers, except in this case, its for image instead of secretions.
-The yelp of pain was from an electrical shock and Hasan's nervous coping, and unconscious confession to this reality came immediately. No Hasan, your mother wasn't spoiling that dog by letting it walk around a bit. Your deception that the dog needs a structured regiment (laying on the cot for hours) is a part of the facade that you have the emotional and mental capability to train a powerful, stubborn dog bred. You electrocute that animal to control its behavior. You are not capable of training this animal without constant corporal punishment. You have physically dominated this animal with electrocution to force it to behave against its very nature as a guardian and independent watcher. Yes dogs require structure, and even at times, corporal punishment. You've made a farce of that idea. You have stopped just short of completely breaking this animal, and until you do, it will always want to get up and look around. It is not a lap dog, or even a old companion animal that just wants to be near you. This bred will always want to wander and see what's happening, it is a guardian.
The dog, its breed, and appearance, were chosen to craft a image.
-Having a chow chow, Tibetan mastiff cross is to foster the facade of a man who can train and command a powerful, independent, fighting animal. It being extra fluffy and cute from other admixture is to increase its ornamental value and popular appeal. One look at this dog's build indicates that it should be a stubborn, boundary testing animal.
-The dog's main purpose it to function as an ornament on stream, and impress others through its obedience. Men who successfully and humanely train dogs enjoy a status from their self mastery, and deft handling of animals. It is macho and emotionally intelligent. Hasan wants to be seen as like these men.
Hasan is savvy enough to understand that shocking an animal onscreen is a mistake. Likely, due to the dog's stubborn and independent breed make-up, he had to start electrocuting the dog more in order to keep it on the cot. Clearly, at one point, the dog was not testing this limit as often, and he blames the his mother for the new boundary testing. Hasan likely began shocking it before stream to remind it what happens when it stands up during the show, and impulsively used the remote as it was still at hand.
