Twitch streamer AspenKartier has been banned from the platform, after allegedly hitting her dog during a live broadcast, following the animal’s escape from its cage, and prompting widespread backlash online. Although the dog is not visible on camera, audio from the broadcast captures AspenKartier asking, “how did you get out the cage?” before she appears to grab the animal. Moments later, the sound of repeated yelping can be heard, which coincides with the streamer striking three times. AspenKartier has not publicly addressed the incident at the time of writing, and the VOD recording of the stream is no longer available. At the end of the clip, the streamer carries the animal by its scruff out of the room.
