Springfield Cops Getting Hundreds of Calls Daily Asking If Immigrants Really Eating Pets

Donald Trump pushing a wild conspiracy theory about Haitian immigrants eating Americans’ cats and dogs in an Ohio town has prompted folks to flood the local police force with inquiries … to the point where the cops are having trouble investigating actual crimes.

Police in Springfield, OH tell TMZ … the department is getting double the amount of daily calls — which was already in the hundreds! — from concerned citizens across the country, all asking the same thing … are immigrants really eating people’s pets?!?

Cops say the increased call volume started after Trump pushed the debunked conspiracy about Haitians in Tuesday night’s debate against Kamala Harris … when he said immigrants were eating cats and dogs in the city, which he called out specifically.

We’re told the non-stop barrage of calls is taking officers’ time away from real police work on other cases … and it’s safe to say they are over the nonsense!

As we reported … there has been one instance in Ohio of a woman allegedly killing and eating a cat … but the woman arrested in the case is a U.S. native — born and raised in Ohio — and the alleged incident happened in Canton, not Springfield.

Trump was fact-checked by moderator David Muir during the debate on ABC, with Muir citing a Springfield city manager who said no pets had been harmed in the city.

Donald Trump Jr. later shared a 911 audio recording of an Ohio caller claiming they saw 4 Haitian migrants carrying dead geese, presenting the call as supposed evidence of his dad’s claims … and he later posted the police report from the apparent incident as well.
