Italian politicians seek action against Trump Jr. hunting party for allegedly killing protected duck Italian politicians on Tuesday asked authorities to take action against a hunting party including Donald Trump Jr. that may have killed a protected species of duck near Venice.
“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," Andy Surabian, spokesman for Trump, said in a statement.
A spokesman for Trump said the hunting party had permits and were hunting in a legally allowed area “where there were countless other hunting groups present.”.
Zanoni appealed to Veneto legislators to take action in coordination with Luana Zanella, a Greens lawmaker in Italy’s lower house, who appealed to Italy’s environment minister.
Zanoni said he also sought the suspension or revocation of authorization for the Valle Pierimpie’ wildlife hunting company that led the hunt.
