Action king Michael Bay has to answer for the death of pigeons while shooting Netflix
The Wrap reports. As a result, Bay is being sued for animal cruelty in Italy, where pigeons are a protected species. According to the prosecution the animal is said to have lost its life due to a camera crane. An unknown person apparently followed the scene and reported the incident to the police. The director denies the whole thing.
I am a known animal lover. […] No animal was harmed during production. […] We have clear video evidence, many witnesses and security officials who acquit us of these allegations.
The court case has probably been going on for some time. 6 Underground was filmed in the summer of 2018. Since then, Bay has tried three times to settle the case, according to the report. He even declined to admit guilt and receive a lighter fine.
