Luciano Ponzetto was 55 years old and became famous for sharing several photos of his infamous hunts along with the animals he killed. One of the photos that caused the most uproar was a photo Luciano took with a lion he had just killed. After sharing that photo, this poacher received several death threats and there was even a facebook page dedicated exclusively to denouncing his atrocities.
At PeritoAnimal we do not want to form any exaltation of the death of people or animals, however this is a death that unfortunately deserves to be reported by us. Read on and notice how it all happened and how the photographer who posed with a dead lion died.
The story of Luciano Ponzetto
Luciano Ponzetto was a veterinarian with a clinic in Turin, Italy, and a year ago he became famous for the worst reasons. This veterinarian, who once promised to save lives, began sharing photos of his hunts along with the animals he was killing. The photo that went viral the most was his photo together with a lion he had just killed.
All this exuberance raised a huge controversy on social networks and led Luciano to receive several death threats.
However, these threats never discouraged him and he continued his hunts.
How Luciano Ponzetto died
The last hunt from this vet who had landed with a dead lion would prove to be fatal.
Luciano Ponzetto is alleged to have fallen from a 30-metre-high ravine while hunting birds and was killed immediately, and nothing could be done to save him. The warning was made by someone accompanying him on this hunt and his body was then retrieved by helicopter.
