A black man fed my father cat and my dad said it was stringy, he was annoyed at the guy for serving it for dinner.
“”Do Haitians eat other types of animals?
Yes. Haitians eat cows, goats, sheep, chickens, pork, etc., but cat meat is a delicacy that many from the countryside simply can’t resist.
Look…
…having a Reveyon without a cat is just like celebrating Thanksgiving without a turkey. Unless you are a vegetarian, some just have to have it.
Why? Well, again, it’s an old tradition.
Why is it legal to eat cats in Haiti?
Some Haitians eat cat’s meat freely for three reasons:
There are no laws designed to prevent people from eating cats.
Most Haitians do not have a human-like relationship with their pets.
Some see cats just like pork, beef, and chicken. So there is no discrimination.
There is no preferential treatment. Meat is meat–whether it is from cats or any other large animals.””
Disgusting people. I’ll never tell my precious Daisy that she could be on the menu in that backward country. If I did. she’d probably bite me.
“Most Haitians do not have a human-like relationship with their pets.”
Their pets, or anything else.

Your comment reminded me of the story of the old black guy that hunts raccoon in Detroit. He sells it either cooked or frozen iirc.

On the positive side, they don't have a feral cat problem.
TNE: Trap, neuter, eat
I have never heard of anyone from the Dominican, Jamaica, Trinidad, etc. doing this.
The viral Facebook post was about a woman in Canton eating a cat. Canton is 3 hours drive from Springfield and the cat eater was an American-born black woman on drugs, who didn’t have a Haitian name.
Other than that everything is 100% correct, meaning none of the inflammatory details were correct.
