I don't know what to eat, ahem, I mean believe but I've seen enough people from Springfield Ohio talk on the stray cat population that there has to be some truth to it. That video is from last year BTW, it ain't people retroactively faking. 

I've seen people talk about stray cat populations in multiple countries, Lol.

But that's because cats are an extremely destructive species to local wildlife, that's why a lot of people suggest to keep cats indoors, they are one of the worst invasive species and hunt for pleasure. Having said that, I love cats, but that's why I'm coming round to the idea that all cats should be indoor cats although that's not a common opinion in the UK.

I know the video is from 2023 but it's blurry as shit and a random neighbour guessing at something, I could find dozens of videos of neighbours shit-talking their neighbours or making a joke like "Lul he's eating his cat" I went to school with a kid who ate rabbit and squirrel so people joked he ate cats too, Lol. People shit-talk all the time. This far-right grifter has found that video and decided to use it as evidence.

Again, the video is far too blurry to tell anything, there's no confirmation of who the neighbours were, if they were migrants or born in the USA and there's zero police reports despite it being illegal to eat cats in America. Not to mention, the original source of the cat eating conspiracy has came out to say it was bullshit and now we've changed from Haitian to Africans and Springfield to Dayton.

Well, a lot of Birds and smaller wildlife will be saved should people be afraid to let their cats out. Possibly a good conspiracy to sell to people now that you phrased your comment on the matter like that and got me thinking. 

Anecdotal but when we took in asylum seeking Burmese people here many moons ago they moved in next door to my family, we had to teach a young lad that our cat wasn't food. They came from a war torn country that was going through famine at the time and eating dogs was appropriate. From living everyone sleeping in the living room piled together cause they didn't know how to use the heaters (and even then still doing it for some reason, probably habit) there was a lot for them to unlearn in the first few months and a lot of shock, I made the mistake of playing GTA4 in front of one of the older kids at one point, that was a urine drenched disaster. I wouldn't write off these claims and unlike in our case over here the Americans aren't giving these immigrants money or social workers to integrate or any help at all. There is no supports, eating cats would be low on the list of things I would assume people in the US would be seeing by this point, I'm really surprised there aren't shirtless women on hot days and general everyday rural African affairs.
