JAKARTA - Police deny African immigrants in Dayton, Ohio, United States (US) eat cats to survive.
The police dismissed this following the viral video shared by Donald Trump's vice presidential candidate in the 2024 US Presidential Election, JD Vance in his X account on Saturday, September 14.
"We support our immigrant community and there is no evidence to suggest that any group, including our immigrant community, is involved in eating pets," said Dayton Police Chief Kamran Afzal, quoted by CBS News, Sunday 15 September.
In the video shared by JD â…¤ance, it is narrated that African immigrants at Dayton roast dead cats for consumption. There is also a video portrait of an animal that has been roasted while the cat is around it.
The police said that the hoax issue spread by Donald Trump's camp was not responsible. The authorities were also surprised that there were no filters owned by the candidate pairs participating in the 2024 US Presidential Election.
"Seeing politicians or other individuals use unreasonable information to attract the attention of their constituents is disappointing," said Kamran.
