The viral picture of a man holding two geese on an Ohio street being used to fuel claims that migrants have been gobbling up pets was nothing more than a wild goose chase, according to a report.
The anonymous man who was snapped carrying the bodies of two birds earlier this week was removing them from the street after they were hit by a car, the Ohio Division of Wildlife confirmed to TMZ.
There is no evidence he was taking them home to eat or that he is a migrant, the agency said.
The incident happened in Columbus — more than 45 miles away from the city of Springfield where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump claimed migrants were gobbling up wildlife and pets.
The viral snapshot was originally shared on the Columbus subreddit in July and shows a man walking down a suburban street holding a goose.
Weeks later, a Springfield resident called 911 to report spotting four Haitian migrants snatching geese near a city park.
Trump referenced the incident at a rally in Arizona earlier this week to bolster claims that illegal immigrants are chowing down on pets.
“A recording of 911 calls show that residents are reporting that the migrants are walking off with the town’s geese,” Trump told the crowd.

I see these frigging foreigners throwing litter all over the place but this good Samaritan foreigner is clearing up road kill off of the road.
Yea sure...
The Damage Control the left is scurrying to produce is epic!
Since most Americans get their news from Social Media these days, there’s precious little the left can do to stop this story from hurting democrats.
Was he driving the car?
In Kentucky it’s called burgoo.
Stupid Libs really believe they can rewrite reality, their motto - don’t believe your lying eyes.
Lies lies and more lies.
Most road kills have their heads sliced off neatly and the bodies intact in bizzarro world
Plus I heard the laptop isnt hunters by these reputable outfits
Sure, Jan.
What bullshit. He is clearly carrying them home. And since when do Haitians care so much about the community that they remove roadkill off the streets just to be good citizens?

The writer is some New York chick, looks about late 20s. She knows everything....just ask her.
There is no such thing as a yellow Volkswagen because the photo in the newspaper was of a green Volkswagen.
Odd. Birds I’ve seen hit by cars don’t just have their heads missing. Most look...crushed. But what do my lying eyes know?
Removing road kill means you drag it off the road.
Harvesting road kill means you take it home with you.
So they are just eating road kill in Columbus. WELL, alrighty. That’s different then. /s
