The deceptive news sources are working overtime to discredit yet another stunning but accurate statement from President Trump.
During a recent debate, Trump said, “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”
The left-wing media machine quickly responded to this comment with their usual tactics: denial, deflection, and outright dismissal of the facts. There were even Democrats who laughed at Trump when he made this statement.

However hard they try to conceal this story, there is increasing evidence that Haitian migrants do indeed practice consuming pets.
This is not just a xenophobic notion, as the Haitian Report has verified the reality of this tradition. Despite claims from the liberal media, eating cat meat in Haiti is not a far-fetched conspiracy theory.
“Do Haitians eat cats” is one of the top 10 most frequently asked questions ask of Haitians in elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and even professional settings. Unfortunately, many Haitians feel uncomfortable answering this question. I, on the order hand, don’t have this problem. This is why I’m going to spill the beans and let you in on this little secret,” the author wrote back in 2019.
The article details how cat meat is considered a delicacy by some Haitians, particularly those from rural areas. It is typically consumed during specific celebrations such as “Reveillon” on December 24th.
The term “Reveillon” is of French origin and translates to “awakening,” signifying a grand meal and festive gathering held in Haiti on Christmas Eve.
According to the publication:
“Contrary to popular beliefs, Haitians don’t eat cats because they are poor and hungry. They eat cats because it’s a tradition.
The practice of eating cats in Haiti is not a new habit but an old tradition started at the time of slavery.
So the practice of eating cat is just as old as Haiti herself.
Yes. Haitians eat cows, goats, sheep, chickens, pork, etc., but cat meat is a delicacy that many from the countryside simply can’t resist.
Look… having a Reveyon without a cat is just like celebrating Thanksgiving without a turkey. Unless you are a vegetarian, some just have to have it.
Why? Well, again, it’s an old tradition.”
The author emphasized the cultural perspective that “meat is meat” and noted that in Haiti, cats are not regarded in the same way as they are in North America or Europe, where they are commonly cherished as family pets.
The author outlined that the consumption of cat meat continues in Haiti due to cultural traditions deeply embedded in the society.
- There are no laws designed to prevent people from eating cats.
- Most Haitians do not have a human-like relationship with their pets.
- Some see cats just like pork, beef, and chicken. So there is no discrimination.
- There is no preferential treatment. Meat is meat–whether it is from cats or any other large animals.
Curious about the taste of cat meat? The author claimed that it tastes surprisingly like chicken.
“Cat meat actually tastes like chicken. A scientific explanation for this similarity is that because many animals evolve from a common ancestor, they often taste the same even when they smell differently.
When I tried it a few years ago, that was exactly my impression. But to discover if this is true or not, you will have to try it yourself to draw your own conclusion.”
Even more revealing are the comments from 2019 on this article discussing this exact topic.
One commenter wrote, “I was told by a friend of mine who happens to be Haitian that some Haitians will kidnap your cat, kill and eat it if they have a personal problem with you or your family. Of course, not all Haitians will do this. She said they are isolated incidents, but they do happen.”
Another commenter revealed their personal experience, stating, “It was two cats that I feed outside daily, the younger went missing for 3 days, then the neighbor next door said she found the cat dead. I don’t believe her. The bigger cat hasn’t left our yard and has stopped roaming. She is an old Haitian lady. I made jokes prior but was thought…”
Another bluntly wrote, “Disgusting, I have a Haitian family at the end of my street. They probably ate my outside cat cuz I haven’t been able to find them.”
