Summary

Italian politician Andrea Zanoni has reported Donald Trump Jr to authorities for allegedly shooting a protected ruddy shelduck while hunting in Venice Lagoon.

A video from Trump Jr’s publication, Field Ethos, reportedly shows him with the rare bird among other dead ducks.

The species is protected under EU and Italian laws, making its killing a potential crime. Zanoni has called for sanctions, including suspending hunting licenses.

Regional officials have yet to respond. The incident occurred in a conservation area south of Venice.
