Goal: Investigate and hold accountable those responsible for the reported killing of a protected ruddy shelduck.
Target: Italian Carabinieri Police, Wildlife Protection Division
A shocking video has surfaced showing a group of hunters, including Donald Trump, Jr., engaged in duck hunting in Venice’s lagoon. Among the birds displayed in the footage appears to be a ruddy shelduck, a species that is protected under Italian law. The video captures the hunters celebrating their kills, with one expressing uncertainty about the species of a particular duck before it was later identified as a protected bird.
Italian law strictly prohibits the killing, capturing, or possession of protected bird species, and violations can result in criminal penalties, including jail time or fines. Authorities have since launched an investigation into the incident, but the full extent of accountability remains unclear. Reports suggest that this is not the first time prominent figures have engaged in controversial hunting activities in the region.
If laws designed to protect wildlife are not properly enforced, such violations may continue with impunity. It is critical that those allegedly involved in this reported incident be fully investigated and, if found guilty, face appropriate legal consequences. Authorities must ensure that Italy’s protected species remain safeguarded from unlawful hunting activities.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Italian Carabinieri Police, Wildlife Protection Division,
Recent reports indicate that a protected ruddy shelduck was killed during a hunting expedition in Venice’s lagoon. A video depicts a group of hunters, including Donald Trump Jr., displaying a pile of dead ducks, seemingly including a species that is legally protected in Italy. The apparent disregard for wildlife laws raises serious concerns about illegal hunting practices in the region.
Italian law explicitly bans the killing, capturing, or possession of protected birds, with penalties that include jail time or fines. It is crucial that authorities conduct a thorough investigation into this incident and take appropriate legal action if violations are confirmed. Ignoring such cases may encourage further unlawful hunting and threaten the conservation efforts put in place to protect vulnerable species.
We urge you to take this matter seriously and hold any responsible parties accountable. Enforcing existing wildlife protection laws is essential in preventing future violations and ensuring that Italy remains a safe haven for its protected species.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Just because you have money and a very important father does
not mean you can ignore laws made to protect the environment.
The duck did not have this advantage.
None of us have the advantage anymore.
Throw that spoiled brat in jail. He’s not above the law!
I’d love to go hunting with Don Jr and his piece of sh*t father…guaranteed neither will come back unharmed.
The merciless trump brothers will be having a hay-day with daddy in the WH once again. They have been trophy hunting all over the world and here at home, forever. I’m sure they’ve slipped in a few endangered species here and there too. They didn’t care before and certainly won’t care now that their father is president once again. They will be emboldened even more and expect they can get away with anything, anywhere. I expect the Endangered Species act will be gotten rid of entirely during trumps second term. It was badly chipped away at, his first time around. People have to realize when they vote, even when they believe things are tough, they can’t focus on, then vote for one or two things because a vote can influence a huge multitude of things they would not even think of, that may really matter to them in the long run. I hope the Italian authorities throw the book at him, even though he will probably pay his way out of any trouble.
He, like his father, thinks he is above the law and can do WHATEVER he pleases
