Shocking footage released on Saturday appears to confirm reports that migrants in Ohio are in fact eating domestic cats.
The video obtained by Chris Rufo reportedly comes from a Dayton resident who captured his African migrant neighbors barbecuing cats on a grill in the backyard in Aug. 2023.
“Yo what is this they got on the grill?” the resident says in the video before noticing a black cat walking by the grisly scene. “There go a cat right there, his ass better get missing man, looks like his homies on the grill man, what the f*ck!”
EXCLUSIVE: We have discovered that migrants are, in fact, eating cats in Ohio. We have verified, with multiple witnesses and visual cross-references, that African migrants in Dayton, the next city over from Springfield, barbecued these cats last summer.https://t.co/8QveTJy4Vp pic.twitter.com/PxuJQ7fJc9

From Rufo’s report:
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.
According to the original witness, whose son was friendly with the neighbors, there was no doubt about what happened last summer. “They was barbecuing the damn cat!” he said. His son’s mother had previously witnessed the family butchering a mammal on the street, but the cats on the barbeque put him in such a state of shock, he felt the need to film it.
Reports of migrants eating pets and wildlife in Spring, Ohio, reached a fever-pitch after Trump brought up the subject during his debate with Kamala Harris on Tuesday.
“In Springfield the people who come in illegally are eating the dogs and cats and pets of people who live there,” Trump said.
ABC anchor David Muir attempted to discredit the story by “fact checking” Trump’s claim, asserting that “the city manager of Springfield, Ohio has said there is no evidence of this.”
Trump’s claim and subsequent explosion of memes surrounding the story resulted in a media firestorm of pundits and outlets attempting to dismiss the story of migrants eating domestic animals as a racist conspiracy theory.
Rufo explained that while the report doesn’t confirm the “every particularity” of Trump’s assertion that migrants in Springfield are eating “dogs and cats,” it does “break the general narrative peddled by the establishment media” that these incidents never happened.
“The town is Dayton, not Springfield; cats alone were on the grill, not cats and dogs,” Rufo noted, adding the alleged perpetrators were also of African, not Haitian, origin.
Trump surrogates, feeling vindicated, shared their thoughts about the disturbing report on X and lambasted the media for trying to cover it up.
“Kamala Harris and her media apparatchiks should be ashamed of themselves. Another ‘debunked’ story that turned out to have merit,” Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance wrote.

Is the purpose of the media to inform? https://t.co/6xn6F2lmCC
But don’t expect the mainstream media to acknowledge the story’s merit.
