I have been reading now that many places have the illegal Haitians coming into their states, and even some here in Alabama where I live.
I thought that the venezuelan gangs taking over the apartments in some cities was terrible, but now I am reading that the Haitians are actually stealing or capturing peoples pets, any wildlife in parks or in the woods around the towns and eating them.
It is not that these people are starving, because they have all been given food cards, money and places to live; it is that they are used to eating dogs and cats in Haiti and like to eat them.

NONSENSE> what you wrote is a thinly veiled racist "story". I challenge you to cite an actual news source, to back up your words. You said " I am reading that the Haitians are actually stealing or capturing people's pets, and eating them ". PROVE THAT. If you can't , you are promoting hate towards an identifiable group. Thats vile.

I believe that the ‘story’ relates to a comment made by J.D. Vance that has since been proven to be without any substance.

OK, BUT I would still like to hear Happyflowerland's explanation. In his/her own words. JIMB.

Yeppers... the reports had been circulating around that area previously... and being investigated, but Vance definitely made a goof in repeating those rumors/fears.

So, this is a made up story, with no truth to it, at all ? JIM.

No, there had been police reports previously, but officials were not able to find proof. The issue here is having a public figure repeating the rumors.

No, it's been denied by those with an economic and political interest in promoting cheap undocumented labor. That story has been picked up and parroted verbatim by every dubious disinformation agency out there. However it has not been "proven" to be of no substance.
