PETA Weighs in on HasanAbi Animal Abuse Scandal

Hasan Piker denies electric shock use on his dog Kaya, explaining the collar vibrates and includes a tracking AirTag amid ongoing social media speculation.

  • On October 7, 2025, Hasan Piker was accused of using a shock collar on Kaya after a Twitch clip showed her yelp as he told her to stop moving.
  • Hasan Piker, a well-known left-wing streamer, has drawn attention for his pro-Palestinian advocacy and faced scrutiny after an October 2024 letter from Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres to Amazon and Twitch.
  • A demonstration on stream displayed Piker’s Kaya collar, claiming it vibrates and has an AirTag, while critics pointed to a blinking green light and blurry footage, and xQc said there’s a 98% chance a shock collar was used.
  • Fellow streamers and PETA condemned Piker, with Ethan Klein calling it `horrifying animal cruelty` and LosPollos TV accusing him of shock collar use, as Tectone highlighted the device's high setting.
  • Amid ongoing online debate, memes and screengrabs have spread across X, Reddit and TikTok, while users dug up older streams showing Kaya, Piker's dog, wearing a collar.
