A national law makes it illegal to capture, harm or kill wild birds in Italy, including pigeons. “I am a well-known animal lover and major animal activist,” Bay said.
Michael Bay is allegedly facing charges that a pigeon was killed during a film shoot five years ago in Italy, but he is denying the allegations.
The acclaimed filmmaker is now responding to the allegations after supposedly attempting to clear his name with authorities,“I am a well-known animal lover and major animal activist,” Bay told The Wrap. “No animal involved in the production was injured or harmed. Or on any other production I’ve worked on in the past 30 years.”
A national law makes it illegal to capture, harm or kill wild birds in Italy, including pigeons, which are protected underAuthorities reportedly claim a protected homing pigeon was killed during the 2018 production of “6 Underground.” Allegedly, the bird was killed by a dolly during a take on set in Rome, and an unnamed crew member allegedly snapped a photo and reported it to the police, a source said.
“We have clear video evidence,” Bay said, “a multitude of witnesses, and safety officers that exonerates us from these claims. And disproves their one paparazzi photo — which gives a false story.”While the ongoing case prevented Bay from explaining specifics, he said he felt “confident we will prevail.”
Bay claimed he was offered a deal to settle the case by paying a fine, but the 57-year-old stuck to his guns, refusing to “plead guilty to having harmed an animal.”
