Donald Trump Jr accused of shooting protected animals sparking outrage from locals Donald Trump Jr has sparked outrage from locals after he was accused of shooting protected ducks in a lagoon in Italy.
Zanoni also said: “In the video, Trump Jr is seen with a ruddy shelduck (Tadorna ferruginea) in the foreground – a duck that is very rare throughout Europe and protected by the European Union birds directive and Italian wildlife protection law.".
Andy Surabian added: "While it's unclear whether this single duck was unintentionally shot by someone in Don's hunting group, another hunting group, or killed in a different manner and retrieved by the group's hunting dog, Don takes following all rules, regulations and conservation on his hunts very seriously and plans on fully cooperating with any investigation.".
Images showing Don Jr, the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, wearing camo gear and reportedly shooting ducks in the Venice area have caused outrage.
Zanoni said on social media that the images show "some people, including Donald Trump Jr, killing various ducks”.
