A few days after former American President Donald Trump accused migrants of eating the cats, dogs and other pets of residents of Springfield, Ohio, South African musician and producer, David ‘The Kiffness’ Scott, has made a pro-animal care song out of the former’s comment.

On Wednesday, the Republican Party presidential candidate, Mr Trump, during a debate with Kamala Harris of Democratic Party, accused migrants of crimes and animal cruelty.

“In Springfield, They’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of people who live there,” Mr Trump said.

Scott, however, rode on Mr Trump’s comment with a Reggaeton beat, using it as chorus for a pro-animal welfare campaign song.

Titled “Eating the Cat,” the song started with Mr Trump saying, “They’re eating the dogs/ they’re eating the cats/ they’re eating the pets of the people who live there.”

Then the beat was introduced as Scott duets the chorus with Mr Trump.

Suggesting alternative food in the song’s verse, Scott sang “People of Springfield please don’t eat my cat/why would you do that/eat something else,” Scott sings.

“People of Springfield, please don’t eat my dog/ here’s a catalog of other things to eat,” Scott sang, holding a placard with pictures of food items, egg, bread and fruits.

The song, posted on September 13, has garnered over six million views and over 20,000 retweets on X in less than 24 hours, eliciting thousands of comments and reactions.

On YouTube, the song has about 625,000 views as of the time this report was filed.

For Scott, the song is a campaign for better animal welfare and not a support for either Mr Trump or Ms Harris.

“Disclaimer: as a South African, I am non-partisan in my support for either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump in the US elections. I just thought the clip of Trump was funny and I wanted to make it into a song that could make a difference in the lives of animals. Whatever your political affiliation, dogs & cats unite us!,” Scott said in the song’s YouTube description.
