Haitian activist from Columbus speaks out on hate her community has received
The idea of Haitians killing and eating residents' pets all began in the city of Springfield, Ohio, where roughly 15,000 Haitian immigrants have now settled.
Sophia Pierrelus is a Haitian immigrant herself, now living in Columbus. She is an activist who helps fellow Haitians in Springfield, and when we talked to her via Zoom, she says this is a bad situation
"Why would we be happy about accusations of eating dogs and cats?" Pierrelus asked.
Pierrelus says the Haitian community has been threatened, and now people are really believing Haitians are after their pets
"(Haitians in the area are) very fearful for their lives, because some of them wants (sic) to move out of Springfield," she said. "They feel unsafe."
