Ohio officials reveal why man in viral photo was holding two geese (hit by a car)

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.

There's no evidence he wasn't.

I live in an area where the ducks are regularly hit… we don’t touch them and the they’re generally pulverized… not fully intact with wrung necks like this guy.

After they were hit by a car? Describe the car. Did you get the license number?
Anything you can say that would help us catch that ht and run driver?

Oh, OK have a nice dinner on us.

Donald Trump claimed migrants were gobbling up wildlife and pets.

Is there proof they are NOT?

So a man in a run down neighborhood finds two dead geese on the road and is carrying them for fun?

I’ve got a problem with this. I believe the media mafia is not telling the truth here. I doubt very much that the ONR actually said those geese had been hit by a car. They probably said, if the geese were hit by a car, it would be legal for him to claim them. I watch all those wildlife warden shows and they are all the same. Had they been in touch with this guy, they would have put him through the wringer. They definitely would have known if he was a Haitian immigrant. This crap story appears to have come from the clowns at TMZ.

If Columbus OH, then the guy is VERY likely a Somalian. And yes, he is carrying the geese home to eat.

The filthy scumbag lying media wants everyone to believe that it’s normal for foreigners to remove road kill from the street. Yeah right, suckus!

In other news, in 2020 BLM mostly peaceful protesters bravely removed big screen telebisions from Best Buy because a mysterious fire threatened to destroy them and some other stuff, yeah we know you don’t believe it but they told me to run if we wanted braces for the kids, so I tell my kids not to tell their friends I’m a journalist, to tell them I’m a mobbed-up bookie sigh

The fur on his lips was from kissing cats, not eating them.

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?
They didn’t even do that in Haiti
