Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) is rejecting allegations that migrants are eating pet cats and dogs in his state.
During an interview on CBS News on Wednesday, the governor was asked if anyone was “eating dogs or cats illegally” in Ohio.
“This is something that came up on the internet, and the internet can be quite crazy sometimes,” DeWine responded.
He added, “And, look, the mayor and Mayor Rue of Springfield says there’s no truth in that. They have no evidence of that at all. So I think we go with what the mayor says. He knows his city.”

The question stemmed from a debunked story of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating residents’ pet cats.
The claims went viral after a resident made the allegation during a City Commission in August.
