The false claim comes amid growing debate over immigration in Ohio.
Prominent conservatives are blaming recent immigration from Haiti after a woman in Ohio was arrested for allegedly eating a cat.
The only problem? The woman has lived in America for the past six years.
The allegations arose over the weekend after right-wing users on social media discovered that a 27-year-old woman was charged last month with injuring animals, prohibitions concerning companion animals, and disorderly conduct.
The woman, Canton resident Allexis Telia Ferrell, reportedly “stomped on the cat’s head to kill the animal before eating it in a residential area in front of multiple people” on Aug. 16, according to Fox News.
I remember an interesting story about immigrants coming up from Central America for jobs in meat processing plants.
The area was a typical republican stronghold of small town America.
Anyhow, the story was mostly an interview with the Sheriff in the area, who had to deal with constant reports of “demonic sacrifice” because the immigrants raised goats and slaughtered them- like they always had done.
Which, there sheriff’s tone was “this is all very awkward and it’s stupid that we have to deal with this.” He made a point that it was all legal and “ now within code,” (guessing there was some building code type stuff,)
In any case I found it odd that he didn’t mention that demonic sacrifice wasn’t illegal either.
In any case, people will believe all sorts of bullshit about “others”.
This certainly does sound unusual, but having grown up and lived in rural conservative places essentially my entire middle aged life, white locals seem to tolerate a lot of animal abuse that is "executed" by their own. And nothing, or very little, is said 😿 Lots of stories of what happened to trailer park cats.
oh, god... I had forgotten this little slice of insanity. republican "flood the field with shit" tactics at their best - its impossible to keep track of it all.
simple solution...?
disregard what they say
watch what they do
vote against an "r" till the end of time.
make the sobs form a new party to try and escape the stench of the gops rotting carcass.
The footage also caught the attention of far-right influencer Charlie Kirk, who argued that Haitians were reportedly eating people’s pets all across the country.
Humans are so strange. They will eat an adorable cow, but condemn eating an adorable cat. Meanwhile they allow their own kind to commit atrocities against other humans without blinking an eye.
They have the electoral college locked down and know they’ll win unless people turn out to vote in untold numbers. So they’re saying any stupid shit conceivable to troll and distract
To be fair to Charlie Kirk, he tried to eat a cat as well but couldn't because of his widdle mouf... so technically he never ate a cat (as far as we know publicly).
Why does her living in the US for six years change anything? That doesn't debunk the claims made by the right. If anything it bolsters them because it shows a lack of integration even after so long.
Also instead of attacking the right about every news story isn't it important to anyone to actually talk about the real and genuine problems here? Avoiding actual issues might help dunk on the right in our lefty clunhuts but it doesn't fix anything or help anyone and it just makes the right more popular
