An organization dedicated to protecting the environment has raised concerns about the actions of Robert F Kennedy Junior, a well-known figure in the political and social realm. According to his daughter, Kennedy was involved in an incident where he decapitated a whale that had washed up on the shore near their family's residence. This peculiar story is just one of many that have come to light, giving us a glimpse into Kennedy's unconventional personal life.
The incident in question was shared by Kennedy's daughter, Kathleen, also known as "Kick," during an interview with Town & Country Magazine back in 2012. She revealed that her father had used a chainsaw to remove the head of the dead whale and transported it back to their home in New York on the roof of their family minivan. Kick recalled the unpleasant smell and the reactions of other drivers as they drove home, with plastic bags over their heads to block out the stench. It was just another strange day for the Kennedy family, according to Kick.
The story resurfaced on social media recently, following reports of a romantic relationship between Kick and actor Ben Affleck. In response, the Centre for Biological Diversity Action Fund, an environmental conservation group, wrote a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) requesting an investigation into Kennedy's actions. The group, which has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, believes that Kennedy may have violated federal laws protecting wildlife and impacted important scientific research.
Brett Hartl, the national political director for the Centre for Biological Diversity Action Fund, explained the reasons behind their concerns in the letter. He stated that it is illegal for anyone to collect or keep parts of endangered species, and scavenging a wildlife carcass can interfere with the work of scientists. This is especially true for marine mammals, which are notoriously difficult to study. CNN has reached out to both NOAA and Kennedy for comment on the matter.
Kennedy's recent actions have also caused a stir in the political sphere. He suspended his independent White House bid and endorsed former president Donald Trump on Friday, after failing to gain momentum against Trump and Harris in recent weeks. Kennedy has stated that he plans to actively campaign for Trump in the upcoming election. In addition, he has joined the Trump transition team, according to a spokesperson for the campaign.
The incident with the whale is just one of many peculiar incidents in Kennedy's personal life that have made headlines. In May, he revealed that a parasitic worm had crawled into his brain and caused him health issues in 2010. Later, he denied allegations made in a Vanity Fair article that he had eaten a dog and dodged accusations of sexual assault from a former nanny. And most recently, he admitted to placing a dead bear carcass in Central Park in 2014, a bizarre incident that garnered international attention at the time.
Overall, the resurfacing of the whale incident has shed light on Kennedy's strange personal life and sparked concerns about his actions. The environmental group's call for an investigation and Kennedy's endorsement of Trump have added fuel to the fire, making him a controversial figure in both the environmental and political realms. Only time will tell what other peculiar stories will come to light about Robert F Kennedy Junior.
