A video with Donald Trump's son shooting ducks in Venice and in a protected area. The case also reaches the Veneto Regional Council with a question from Europa Verde and in Parliament with the request from Avs for intervention by Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin. According to what councilor Andrea Zanoni of Europea Verde, who has presented a question and is ready to file a complaint with the judiciary, last December Donald Trump junior was in Venice on vacation with his new partner . And with a group of friends he also participated in a hunting trip in the lagoon.
"They cannot be the masters - claims Zanoni, first in the Democratic Party and now in Europa Verde, a convinced animal rights activist - in Veneto". For the representative of the Regional Council "the current Meloni government seems to be kept on a leash by the new political course of the USA, with USAF military exercises in areas protected by the EU in the Treviso area, which I denounced last week, and now Trump's son hunting protected species in the Venice lagoon. Veneto and Italy are not US property".
On a specialized American website, "The global hunt for adventure", Repubblica.it claims, a video was published in recent days that shows, with an interview, Trump Junior surrounded by quails and ducks . «The various hunting scenes in the Venice lagoon were probably filmed recently in Valle Pirimpie' in Campagna Lupia - says Zanoni - in an area that is protected by European regulations and is part of a site of the EU Natura 2000 Network , as a Special Conservation Area called the middle-lower lagoon of Venice».
The video shows some people, including Donald Trump Junior. "In one frame of the video, moreover, Trump appears while describing the ducks that were shot, among which a Ruddy Shelduck can be seen in the foreground, a duck that is very rare in all of Europe and is almost entirely orange-rust in color ," says Zanoni, who recalls that hunting is prohibited for non-residents in Italy. The Venetian Democratic Party is on the same line: "What has been reported is a very serious fact , it is unacceptable that protected species are killed in the Venice lagoon, a protected environment that should be protected - says Monica Sambo, a Democratic city councilor -. If Trump junior's involvement is confirmed, we hope that he will be prosecuted like any other citizen."
