Michael Bay has been charged with killing a pigeon while directing a film in Italy.
The filmmaker, however, denies that such a thing has ever happened under his watch.6 UndergroundItalian prosecutors say the pigeon was killed by a dolly during the film’s production in Rome, where it is illegal to harm or kill wild birds. Italian authorities also noted that someone on set saw the incident, and snapped a photo before reporting it to police.
While Bay did not harm any birds himself, he is reportedly being charged because he was the film’s director. The filmmaker has tried to get the case thrown out several times, but to no avail, TMZ added. File/Michael Bay attends the Los Angeles premiere of “Ambulance” at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 04, 2022 in Los Angeles, California.
