“I am a well-known animal lover,” the 6 Underground director said
reports. On Thursday, Michael Bay denied having killed the bird, which is considered a protected species, during filming five years ago.. “No animal involved in the production was injured or harmed, or on any other production I’ve worked on in the past 30 years.”
According to the outlet, Bay has attempted to clear the case with Italian authorities but has failed after the European country accused him of killing a homing pigeon while on set for the Netflix film. A source toldthat a pigeon was killed by a dolly and that the incident was reported by someone who took a photo of the deceased animal.
“We have clear video evidence, a multitude of witnesses, and safety officers that exonerates us from these claims,” Bay told the outlet. “And disproves their one paparazzi photo — which gives a false story.” Bay told the outlet he was “confident” he’d prevail “when I have my day in court.” As the film’s director, he is held responsible for the bird’s death.
