Trump Jr. under fire: Alleged illegal duck hunt sparks outrage
Donald Trump Jr. may face serious issues following his visit to Italy. The son of the U.S. President has been accused of shooting a protected species of duck. This accusation emerged due to a hunting video that surfaced online. According to local activists, Trump Jr. was shooting ducks without a license.
Andrea Zanoni, a councilor from the Veneto region in southern Italy, filed a report about a potential crime Donald Trump's son committed. The local politicians and activists indicated that only Italian citizens can acquire licenses to practice hunting in this country.
The problem is that a video appeared online showing Donald Trump Jr. presenting hunted specimens near Valle Pierimpi, a Campagna Lupia, a private swamp in the Venetian Lagoon. Moreover, the President of the United States' son allegedly shot a protected species of duck.
A spokesperson for Trump Jr. completely denied the allegations, claiming that the President's son has all the necessary licenses and can prove it.
Don and his group had all the proper permits and were hunting in a legally allowed area, where there were countless other hunting groups present, said Andy Surabian, quoted by CNN.
Is the incriminating video of Donald Trump’s son being removed from the internet?
The video featuring Donald Trump Jr.'s "hunting trophies" appeared on the "Field Ethos" website. The American politician's son is a co-founder and publisher of the portal.
The recording is disappearing from the internet. The "Field Ethos" site managed to remove it. It is also not available on YouTube. The portal conveyed that the creators themselves removed it. What can be seen in the video?
It shows Donald Trump Jr. shooting at flying birds. At one point, the politician's son notices that one of the shot ducks is "unusual for this area." According to Trump Jr.'s spokesperson, it is unclear who from the hunting party shot the protected animal.
