    I love how people on here are so willing to ignore abuse for people they like.

        They saw that one out of context now debunked clip where Hasan’s dog tripped on it’s bed and now hold it up as an example of him being an abuser.

          It’s wild how we have Dan Saltman admitting he made up that shock collar rumor because of how viral Ethan Klein killing his own dog with cheese went and there are still people totally willing to believe him.

              Here’s Dan explaining how he got the idea from Ethan Klein feeding so much cheese to his dog that he killed it.

              More clips of Destiny and Dan Saltman coming up with the rumor

            I firmly believe everyone who believes the lie has never had a pet. I’ve seen my cat fall off the ottoman while running around and then immediately just sit and bathe enough to believe that’s what Hasan’s dog did. People say if it’s an energetic puppy but then lays there and I’m like, yeah? You play with the puppies until they collapse so you can have some peace and quiet and they’re happy napping.
