His independent White House campaign has fizzled, but the flow of bizarre stories of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s unorthodox handling of the carcasses of wild mammals has experienced no similar suspension.
An environmental group is calling for a federal investigation into the former presidential candidate for an episode in which he allegedly severed the head of a washed-up whale with a chainsaw – and drove home with it strapped to his car’s roof.
The episode has parallels with another extraordinary tale reported earlier in August in which Kennedy confessed to dumping a dead bear cub in New York’s Central Park and attempted to make it look like the animal was killed by a bicyclist.
The latest grisly revelation, about the whale head, is not particularly new – it stems from a 2012 interview Kennedy’s daughter Kick gave to Town & Country magazine, in which she talks about a visit to other family members of the political dynasty in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, more than two decades prior.
I wanna know how he wasn’t arrested? I mean if any average person had done that their ass would be in jail ffs.
Found the reason.
I’m sure the DA will get right on it as soon as he and RFK Jr. get back from their falconry trip in the Hamptons.
What are the charges? When I find skulls laying around our camp I nail them beside the shed door. So far I have a rabbit, tortoise shell and an unidentified herbivore. Lost the deer skull. :(
Call me weird if you like, but criminal? Excepting scale, what’s the difference? Not like he rowed out in the bay and harpooned it himself. I can’t shoot a black bear, but I can do what I please with any remains I find.
