We had a few cats killed for cult purposes a few years ago. I doubt that is what is going on though.

So they bought-off the "lady" !!
How easy and convenient 😀
We spoke with the author of the video, who asked to remain anonymous but confirmed its time, location, and authenticity. He told us that he was picking up his son last summer, when he noticed the unusual situation. “It was some Africans that stay right next door to my kid’s mother,” he said. “This African dude next door had the damn cat on the grill.” We then identified the home by matching it to the visuals in the video and cross-referencing them with the eyewitness. When we knocked on the door of the first unit, a family answered, telling us they were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and that all of the surrounding units were occupied by other African migrants. One of the residents told us that her former neighbors, also from Africa, had lived in the adjacent unit until last month. They had a blue grill and the father would find meat in the neighborhood. “Her dad was going to find meat,” she said. “Her dad was going, holding a knife.” The current residents also showed us a blue grill of the same make and model as in the video, which the former neighbors had abandoned after they moved out. There were at least ten cats wandering around the complex and another resident complained that they were breeding on the property.

I've always been told that those Canadian geese taste awful...If I'd have known how yummy they were I might have taken a few over the years.

Trump and Vance can and do say a lot of things. The media are the ones giving this story a platform, day after day with multiple headlines.

I can take your spin on the subject for granted.
But my question still stands. Of all the lies that Donald Trump told at the debate; why was this one chosen to dominate the news cycle? How is it more consequential than Trump's lies on topics such as the Economy or Abortion or ect.
To be a bit more serious; if this controversy is creating violence. How complicit is the news media? They have been running story after story after story on the subject. They have made it a national controversy. They could have ridiculed Donald Trump once and been done with it. But if it bleeds it leads, and now they are using it to sell ads and collect people's personal information.
Ummmm hello. The people in the city are pissed off that this bs has happened in their community, they shipped 20k migrants to a town (without looking) I believe they said almost 60k. The immigrants are causing problems, women are speaking up that they no longer feel safe as well as other people in the town talking of other issues. Lots of vids of people addressing City Council board members and speaking up about the issues, they’re not happy.

It's rather important because you have the candidate for President and the VP spreading the rumor (that as Trump said he saw on TV) that Haitian immigrants are stealing and eating cats and dogs and pets. There is no verification of this. Again, "I heard", " my neighbor said". Trump was on the campaign trail this weekend threatening to "send the immigrants to Venezuela". As far as we know, they are here legally, not from Venezuela and working, along with threatening Gov Newsome to "sign the paper, or you won't get any help if you need it for forest fires, but that's another topic. Since they've spread these rumors, schools have had to close due to threats, city hall had to close, there's reports of vandalism in areas where Haitians live and now the PB and Klan are active there.
They both know exactly what they are doing by spreading this racist xenophobic rhetoric. And his base and extremists are lapping it up. Seems it would be better to address any real problem the city may have, but nope, rile people up and threaten legal immigrants is the better way according to Trump and Vance.

Maybe because he and Vance every day keep doubling down on it. And every day it keeps causing more issues in the town. This morning Vance said in an interview it was worth him "creating" this story.
The news outlets besides the usual RW Gateway Pundit and the like have been stressing that there are no founded cases of this, they have reported the fall out of making these claims, they have interviewed people from the city, they have interviewed city leaders, they have interviewed business owners. They have stressed these are unfounded claims and legal immigrants. You want them to ignore it while Trump and Vance keep talking about it every day?
The public has certainly ridiculed it. However the base is trying to say they are not doing that with the funny memes and videos and that they are actually "showing that Trump is a great protector of pets". 🤣
Others on the left are stating that although the videos are funny, the blood libel Vance and Trump are doing is actually very serious.
