Ohio duck rescuer Lisa Montgomery has been witnessing an uptick in missing ducks and geese in the Springfield area recently, according to an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail.
Montgomery has been rehoming wild geese in the state for a decade, and she’s specifically noticed birds in the city have disappeared at an alarming rate.
After Donald Trump said Haitian “migrants” in the Ohio city are eating dogs and cats, the media went wild claiming he’s spreading racist misinformation.
However, testimonies from locals allege they saw firsthand the illegal aliens were collecting cats, and it is known that animals are often used in Haitian voodoo rituals.
The Ohio bird rescuer said she’s noticed an “unusual” number of water birds going missing in the region, and has “serious concerns” they’re being “murdered for food.”
This year, Montgomery witnessed the geese and ducks disappearing by numbers that “far exceeded” past summers.
“I have over the years had many people reach out from the Springfield area. Recently with concerns of ducks and geese being murdered for food,” she said. “I do have serious concerns over the issue and believe it to be true.”
At first, the bird lover thought the increase in missing animals was due to predators, but has since decided the timing doesn’t match since predation “tends to happen more in the winter months.”
“Predation is also a real thing but not at the rate birds have disappeared,” she explained. “Predation tends to happen more in the winter months. When the ponds freeze and the birds don’t have protection.”
A police report from Springfield last month shows two locals called law enforcement to report seeing four Haitians each holding a goose in their hands at a city park.
