During the 2024 presidential campaign, Donald Trump claimed without any evidence that immigrants of Haitian origin were eating their neighbors' cats and dogs in Springfield, Ohio. This had no real basis, and in any normal country it would have led to the politician's absolute disqualification, but in the United States, as everyone knows, Trump won the elections by a landslide. I've been thinking about this these days, seeing that some Spanish media outlets, mainly from the far-right sphere, have published news items denouncing that immigrants from Ceuta devour cats, pigeons, seagulls, and any other animal that runs through the streets. In one of these news items, a photograph was attached showing a dead cat next to a dumpster. Fortunately, the service of fact-checking from the Efe agency carried out the relevant checks and ruled that the photograph was not from now or from Ceuta, but rather from 2025 and from Gran Canaria.
