Director Michael Bay is thought for his huge blockbuster motion pictures like Armageddon, the Transformers movies, and most not too long ago Ambulance, however his most up-to-date headline is much less movie-related, and extra about not too long ago filed fees in opposition to the director in Italy. It seems that the Italian authorities consider that when Bay was within the nation in 2018 filming the Netflix hit 6 Underground, a pigeon was killed on his set.
Bay says he has tried a number of instances to clear his title, and he denies all allegations. He made the next assertion to The Wrap:
“I am a well-known animal lover and major animal activist. No animal involved in the production was injured or harmed. Or on any other production I’ve worked on
in the past 30 years.”
The report says that Italian authorities say a homing pigeon was killed throughout the 6 Underground manufacturing in Rome.
Pigeons are a protected species in Italy. Italy has a nationwide regulation that makes it unlawful to hurt, kill or seize any wild hen, together with pigeons. Pigeons are additionally protected within the E.U. beneath the Birds Directive.
According to an insider with information of the manufacturing, a homing pigeon was allegedly killed by a dolly within the center of a absorb Rome. An unnamed particular person who occurred to be on set apparently witnessed the incident, took a image and reported it to Italian authorities, the insider added.(*6*)
Bay went on to say:
“We have clear video evidence,” Bay mentioned, “a multitude of witnesses, and safety officers that exonerates us from these claims. And disproves their one paparazzi photo — which gives a false story. There is an ongoing court case so I cannot get into the specifics, but I am confident we will prevail when I have my day in court.”
He added:
“I was offered by the Italian authorities a chance to settle this matter by paying a small fine, but I declined to do so because I would not plead guilty to having harmed an animal.”
So I suppose we must see the way it pans out for Michael Bay. Pretty loopy to have this drag on for a pigeon! May he relaxation in peace.
