Trump Jr. hunting party investigated over killing of protected duck in Italy
Briefly

Donald Trump Jr. faces scrutiny from the Venice prosecutor's office regarding a hunting trip in December where he allegedly killed a protected duck species, the ruddy shelduck. The incident gained traction after activists found a video of Trump Jr. boasting about the hunt. Local politicians, including Andrea Zanoni, condemned the act and informed authorities of potential law violations concerning Italy’s stringent hunting regulations. Trump Jr.'s representative, however, stated that all necessary permits were in place, raising questions about the circumstances of the duck's death.
This is actually a rather uncommon duck for the area - not even sure what it is in English, Trump Jr. said in the video.
Veneto and Italy are not the property of the USA, he wrote, emphasizing the importance of adhering to local laws.
The law is the same for everyone, Zanoni said, highlighting the seriousness of hunting regulations in Italy.
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.
