Trump Jr. Allegedly Shoots Protected Duck in Venice, Italy

An Italian politician has reported Donald Trump Jr. to authorities for allegedly shooting a protected duck species while hunting in the Venice lagoon. Andrea Zanoni, a regional counselor and environmentalist from Italy’s Veneto region, said that Trump Jr. was caught on video killing ducks in a protected area.

The video, shared by Trump Jr. through Field Ethos, a lifestyle publication, showed him and others shooting various ducks. One of the ducks shown in the video was identified as a Ruddy Shelduck, a rare species protected by European Union and Italian wildlife laws. Zanoni pointed out that killing this bird was a crime because it is legally protected.

In the video, Trump Jr. can be seen hunting from a pit blind, shooting at ducks and then speaking to the camera. He points out a duck with an orange-brown color, saying, “This is actually a rather uncommon duck for the area. Not even sure what it is in English.” He also mentions seeing many Widgeon and Teal ducks, which are types of waterfowl.

Zanoni, upset by the act, has filed an official inquiry asking what actions authorities will take against the people involved in the hunt, including whether they will suspend or revoke the license of the hunting company. The incident is said to have occurred in the Pierimpie’ valley, a special conservation area protected by European regulations.

The Ruddy Shelduck is a migratory bird that spends winters in South Asia and travels to Southeastern Europe and Central Asia to breed. Because of its protected status, killing this species is illegal under Italian and European laws.

Zanoni is calling for the authorities to take action against Trump Jr. and the hunting company responsible. The regional council has not yet commented on the issue but says it will respond appropriately in time.
