Donald Trump Jr. illegally hunted a protected duck during a trip to the Venice lagoon last December.

Earlier this month, a local hunting lifestyle company called Field Ethos released a video online of Trump’s trip that showed him shooting waterfowl in a special conservation area of the lagoon, Veneto regional councillor Andrea Zanoni previously wrote on Facebook.

At one point, Trump addresses the camera surrounded by dead waterfowl—including

Next time they’ll make him take Dick Cheney as a chaperone.

And BTW Italy...

If all the jiggling under Campi Flegrei is making you nervous, you might want to consider being nicer to the US.

If you think the rest of the planet will save you if that were to blow...

Yeah, good luck with that.

Zanoni and several animal rights groups filed criminal complaints—called a denuncia—with the forest police accusing Trump of hunting without a license and killing the protected bird,

He's being targeted simply because he's the president's son.

When hunting abroad, it's the outfitter's responsibility to provide all the legal documents necessary for the hunt.

As for the ruddy duck, it could have been shot by anyone in the hunting party. And anyone who has ever duck hunted knows that when hunting in the early morning daylight when ducks are typically flying, it's hard to distinguish one species of duck from another if they're the same size but a different coloration.

They said they’d bought their duck stamps, but didn’t know if geese were covered.

If you don't know, don't shoot.

But RTFM.

Check out the video of the hunt that was embedded in the article. It's incredible.

It was a private preserve with thousands of ducks flying......I can't imagine what a hunt with lodging and meals would cost there.
