There's no reason to make up cats. I'm pretty sure this is illegal too, there's an image of a man holding a goose, that I won't post outta respect, so it's not fake. 

Okay, people are posting it on Twitter so screw it. 

The reason to make up a story about cats and dogs is because they're both beloved animals and it's an attempt to turn peoples hatred against an entire community of people for political reasons.

Onto geese...It's legal to hunt geese in Ohio in very specific circumstances, those circumstances relate to the type of weapon used and only during a certain period in the year, anything outside that window is illegal.

Onto the picture, that dude isn't Haitian according to the Redditor who took the picture 2 months ago. This picture was in Columbus, not Springfield or Dayton and also this...

The Ohio Division of Wildlife told TMZ that the man was picking up the two geese that had been hit by a car in Columbus

In order to collect a carcass, people need documentation from a county sheriff or wildlife officer, the wildlife organization explained, but according to the Franklin County Wildlife Office, this is not required for geese, meaning the man had a right to them.

TMZ reported that there is no evidence that the man is Haitian, an immigrant or that he even intended to eat the geese.

Again, don't believe everything you see on Twitter cause now we're just on a witch-hunt. This dude is probably some poor American who now has his face plastered everywhere for the crime of picking up Geese hit by a car and if he's eating them I don't really care, Lol. They were already dead, I know people who have ate roadkill in the UK, Lol. Providing you know what you're doing I don't really see the issue with it.

It's also quite ironic because hunters are largely Republican and they go out every season blasting thousands of waterfowl, Lol.

Kojima was right. The Internet needs an AI to take control as a neutral third party and parse the information, I can't believe he predicted this in 2001 before the Internet even had it's significant boom. I don't know what we are going to do but this amount of information, factual or not is a real threat. I don't know if up is down anymore, the only winning move seems to be not to engage.
