Petition to ban Brooke Houts from YouTube goes viral after dog abuse scandal Brooke Houts, YouTubeYouTuber Brooke Houts stirred up outrage across the net after accidentally uploading an unedited video that showed her hitting and spitting on her pet dog in early August \u2013 and while the LAPD is currently investigating the scandal, netizens are still outraged. Multiple petitions have popped up across the net in wake of the drama, asking for YouTube to permanently ban Houts from their platform in light of video evidence showing Houts\u2019 mistreatment of her Doberman Pinscher, Sphinx. In fact, one Change.org petition has garnered over 49,000 signatures \u2013 merely 400 names away from its goal of 50,000 signers. The petition calls Houts\u2019 explanation of the alleged abuse into question, who claimed that she was in a \u201cclearly frustrated\u201d mood and did not spit on the animal, albeit admitting that she should not have \u201cgotten as angry as I did in the video.\u201d \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a mistake,\u201d petition organizer Nina France wrote. \u201cNo one hits and spits on a living creature by mistake. If this is what Houts is comfortable doing on camera, what could she be doing to her dog off camera?\u201d To everyone who has been commenting on my social media as of recently: pic.twitter.com\/gnxUbfVHdf \u2014 b (@brookehouts) August 7, 2019 France\u2019s now-viral petition also asks YouTube to \u201cdelete her channel, her videos, any reupload of her abuse, and never allow her to have a channel or any sort of influence ever again.\u201d Read More: FaZe Censor explains why he\u2019s going bald – While both YouTube and Houts have yet to address the quickly-growing petition, the Los Angeles Police Department\u2019s investigation into the matter concluded that Houts\u2019 video does not show proof that Sphinx is in \u201cimmediate danger,\u201d with the dog reportedly still in her care at the time of writing. haha hilarious prank @brookehouts !!! xD pic.twitter.com\/kjvmOnln7e \u2014 shoe (@shoe0nhead) August 7, 2019 Houts\u2019 accidental upload caught the attention of regular netizens and social media stars alike, with popular YouTuber Logan Paul condemning the abuse and H3H3\u2019s Ethan Klein even offering to take the pup off her hands.
