Bishops in Ohio are calling on people to treat migrants with respect and dignity.

The prelates from Springfield released a statement saying the blue-collar city of around 50,000 people has been struggling with "violent threats and life disruptions" after viral social media claims that the Haitian migrants there were eating people's pets.

While the bishops did not address this rumor directly, they encouraged people not to perpetuate ill on anyone based on "unfounded gossip."
