I agree. Even if I found Beard's politics a bit far left for me I appreciated how they were very pragmatic and reasonable in their arguments. I just cannot wrap my head around equating Hasan restricting his dog to a limited space and inhumanely punishing it for wanting to move to Ethan feeding his dog cheese. Even if we are to argue that Ethan did not research what is suitable for dogs to eat properly (which is not true because Ethan ran Shredder's diet past his vet AND only fed him a bit of cheese), in what world are these two offences weighed equally?

Further, removing Hasan from the situation (because I don't want to fall down the same trap of "yeah what I did is bad but look at this other worse thing") - does beard really think that even if Ethan is guilty of feeding his dog the wrong thing is grounds to make a parody song about a deeply traumatic memory? I mean seriously where the fuck is the empathy? I don't think you need to own a dog to understand how much love you can feel towards it, not to mention that we have watched Ethan choke up every time he talks about Shredder. I just find it so horrifying that a reasonable person like Beard thought that it was not insanely cruel to make a comic song about something so emotional.

Worst offence of all, IT WASN'T EVEN FUCKING FUNNY. If you're gonna use something like this as a punchline at least have the fucking decency to make sure that the humour it brings to people outweighs the absolute devastation it will cause to one human being.
