Donald Trump Jr. is accused of violating Italian and European Union environmental protection laws while duck hunting near Venice in December. Italian Green party lawmakers filed parliamentary questions urging authorities to investigate the alleged offense after a video surfaced showing Trump Jr. near a dead ruddy shelduck, a protected species. Trump Jr.'s spokesman maintains that the hunting party had proper permits and was hunting in a legal area, but the incident is under investigation.
Donald Trump Jr. , the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump, broke Italian and European Union environmental protection laws when he hunted ducks near Venice in December, according to two Italian Green party lawmakers.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Zanoni said he had seen footage of Trump Jr. hunting in a “Natura 2000″ EU conservation zone in the Venice lagoon, standing near a dead ruddy shelduck, a protected species. “Lots of wigeon, teal ,” he says in the video, describing his hunting spoils. He then says he also caught “a rather uncommon duck for the area, not even sure what it is in English”, before concluding: “incredible shoot”.
“Don takes following all rules, regulations and conservation on his hunts very seriously and plans on fully cooperating with any investigation,” Surabian said in a statement.
