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 think the purpose of that language is to prevent
peoplehunters claiming they just happened to find it dead.I hate when actions that cause no harm are made illegal, just because actions that do cause harm are harder to investigate.
Yep! Everyone on lemmy acting like this guy harpooned the thing himself. Technically illegal? Sure. But not the sort of thing that’s usually prosecuted unless some sort of public attention is drawn.
Lucky for him nobody has drawn public attention to it.
A close shave… only he and the rest of the English speaking world shall know.
Just to be clear though… whether the things he is doing are technically illegal or not… they’re batshit insane. This privileged socialite just running around the US bagging himself any carcasses that aren’t nailed down, transporting them large distances, and sometimes dumping them in places…
Ya know, all totally normal behavior. Average American shit. Definitely not weird.
What are the chances that he is going to replace JD Vance soon?
