Haitian immigrants eating pet cats and ducks of residents in Ohio? Here’s what happened – Times of India

Social media was up on arms Tuesday claiming that illegal Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating pets of other residents including cats. Ohio senator JD Vance reacted to the reports and said he raised the issue of Haitian illegal immigrants earlier. “Reports now show that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who shouldn’t be in this country.Where is our border czar?” Vance posted on X.
Elon Musk also contributed to the debate as he wrote in a reply to an X post: “Apparently, people’s pet cats are being eaten.”

But what has actually happened?
Social media posts, made by right-wingers, claimed that residents of Springfield Ohio are saying that Haitians are eating the pets of other residents. One such incident did actually take place last month as reported by Fox News. An Ohio woman was arrested after she killed a cat and then began eating it in front of the neighbors. Allexis Telia Ferrell, 27, is charged with injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals and disorderly conduct, the report said.
The woman reportedly stomped in the cat’s head to kill it before she ate it in front of a residential area in Ohio.
But there was no evidence to prove whether she is a Haitian woman.
The video of the incident went viral over the weekend and Kamala Harris was held responsible for immigrants eating cats in residential areas — ahead of the big Kamala Harris – Donald Trump debate on September 10.
Another photo of a ‘Haitian man walking around with an entire goose’ added to the online hatred.
Republicans shared the video of Kamala Harris stating how her administration extended temporary protected status to over 100,000 Haitian migrants.
“Less than three months ago, Kamala Harris and her Administration blocked 300k unvetted Haitian Migrants from being deported out of our country. Today, those unvetted migrants are sucking up precious resources and destroying Springfield, Ohio. Kamala Harris did this,” Donald Trump Jr posted.
