I’m going to try to be objective here and add perspective as a dog owner
after she yelped, he immediately froze and looked at her for a few seconds, during which nothing was visibly wrong and she showed no signs of distress. things like this happen with dogs, I’ve done the exact same thing countless times with my dogs behind me at my workstation for various reasons, some of which were random yelps.
with the situation determined to not be of immediate concern, you don’t need to go do a thorough review of the dog right away. you can do that a bit later. if the dog is hurt, they’ll show it.
do I think the effort that goes into keeping her on the cot is a little weird? yeah. but I don’t have experience with big dogs, and I don’t think it’s an issue to tell your dog to stay in their place rather than somewhere else in the room, they’ll be happy either way. my dog will get up off her bed and plop herself down under my rolling chair without me noticing, then freak out when I move because a tiny bit of fur got caught in the wheels, so I tell them to stay farther away or will slide them away from the chair
Okay, maybe that’s fair, but you can obviously see why the clip has upset people. Im tired of the topic, but what upsets me more is that Hasan defenders, and also he himself, use dismissal as the main tactic, and like, no, people are not stupid for having empathy, even when they got too much of it (If you think such a thing is possible). Dismissal also (obviously, as one of the favorite tools of abusers) makes people suspicious. Should people be suspicious in this particular case? I dunno, my point is that these are completely rational feelings to have
Anyway, I will try to avoid speaking more on the topic, doesn’t seem worth the time
