Donald Trump Jr. is under scrutiny after an Italian lawmaker filed a legal complaint alleging that he hunted without a license in a protected area of the Venice lagoon. The complaint follows the release of a video showing Trump Jr. and his hunting group with several dead birds, including a rare orange-brown ruddy shelduck, which is protected under Italian law. Despite claims from Trump Jr.’s spokesperson asserting that all necessary permits were in place, questions surrounding the legality of the hunt have been raised.
As calls for investigation grow, the regional councilor who lodged the complaint emphasizes that hunting licenses in Italy are exclusive to residents of Italian regions. Additionally, environmental groups are taking action, pointing to potential violations and prompting a broader inquiry into hunting practices in the area. With a parliamentary investigation anticipated, the incident puts a spotlight on hunting regulations and conservation efforts in Italy, stirring public interest in Trump Jr.’s actions abroad.
