After Viral Social Media Post, Springfield Police Say No Reports of Pets Stolen, Eaten

Police in Canton, Ohio have experienced one case of similar pet abuse

The Springfield Police Division said Monday they have received no reports related to pets being stolen and eaten.

A social media post originally from a Springfield Facebook group went viral nationally in recent days. The original poster did not cite first-hand knowledge of an incident. Instead they claimed that their neighbor’s daughter’s friend had lost her cat and found it hanging from a branch at a Haitian neighbor’s home being carved up to be eaten.

The poster also claimed "Rangers" and police told them that "they have been doing it" at Snyder Park, too, with ducks and geese.
