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.

    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.

      And Kristy Noem even bragged about murdering her dog in a book as if it were some sort of selling point for conservatives.

        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…?

        1. disregard what they say
        2. watch what they do
        3. 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.
