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.
Wrong coast. But considering the family said that he likes to “study” things like whale skulls, I wouldn’t exactly be shocked if he had a human skull or two in his collection.
He likes to play among rotting carcasses… behind the bastards had a really interesting podcast about him.
Tried to give the show a listen. Couldn’t get passed the terrible jokes and laughing and turned it off in less than 5 minutes. Any recommendations on a more serious show like Behind the Bastards?
