Something doesn't add up for me. We've had Haitian immigrants since way back (see The Fugees) but somehow eating pets became a thing in the past month? What were they doing before that? Why now?
I think it's a relatively small percentage of the Haitian population, which in the past was a very small percent of the overall population.
But when a quarter of the local populace is suddenly Haitian, then that small percentage of cat eaters starts becoming noticeable numbers. And when surrounded by their own, they're more emboldened to do so publicly.
That seems to be how it works, true. A bigger group from the same country, same cultural background and same customs, and living mostly in contact with each other and not mingling all that much with the locals, and they just keep living the way they did in their home country, not always even realizing when they are doing something that clashes badly with the local customs. And sometimes, with some, not caring because they feel a bit too comfortable when there are so many of them that they don't feel like they'd better try to fit in.

Just my opinion...

Sorry, but that sounds too much like the old "B-b-but they're not all like that!" excuse.
I want them all gone. If that's Racist, Bigoted and Unfair, well, so be it.
