Former presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr decries ‘weaponization of our government’ over 1994 incident
Robert F Kennedy Jr has said that he is being investigated by federal authorities for collecting the head from a decapitated whale carcass.
During a campaign event on Saturday for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump, in Glendale, Arizona, the former independent presidential candidate said: “I received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Institute saying that they were investigating me for collecting a whale specimen 20 years ago.”
…
Reports of the decapitation caught the attention of the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, which called on federal authorities to investigate Kennedy. In a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), the environmental group said Kennedy “violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and possibly the Endangered Species Act, by illegally cutting the head off of a dead whale in or around 1994 in Hyannis Point, Massachusetts, and bringing it to his New York house”.

Good. I’m tired of “when you’re rich, they let you do it.”
Weird as fuck asshole not only drove over to an island to cut off a dead whale’s head because he supposedly likes to study animal skulls (he’s a lawyer, not a scientist, so what is he studying?), he brought his kids along for the ride for no apparent reason.
Obviously the worm ate too much. His kids were probably just anxiously playing along not to piss him off. Who knows what kind of mental and physical abuse that fucker is capable of
That was pre worm, I believe.
His daughter was unfazed by her account, this kind of unhinged shit was a common occurrence for them. I bet there is a lot of other weird stories like that.
I love that the party of “We’re not weird”, have the weirdest spokespeople representing them, trying to convince voter they are not weird.
First, the brain worm issue, then the bear wanted to eat incident, then the story of eating a dog/goat (he isn’t sure which it was), and now cutting the head of a dead whale he found, if patterns show anything probably to eat it.
Also, why are people worried about immigrants eating animals? Litterally, a Kennedy bragged about it. I’m sure there are other weird ones he would have shared had he not seen the horrified looks on people faces.
How the heck is one “city guy” getting this crazy with animals. If he hadn’t come forward with them, I’m not sure I would have believed it. What kind of drugs was he on, or how long was that worm munching away?
Short answer: Falconry. The Behind the Bastards RFK Jr episodes give a much longer answer and are worth checking out.
First bears, now whales. I’m beginning to believe this fucker did eat that dog.
Right. The whole Ohio thing is deflecting/projection to make noise because RFK actually did eat your pets.
I’ve never put much stock in the “we are living in a simulation” but stories like this make me wonder if one of the sim developer’s kids is in here doing stuff.
They just opened it up for user created content so they could make as much money as possible before the world ends.
Just go away.
He has done WHAT?
Just your average dead whale beheading to bring home the trophy. Nothing special!
Did Trump say he’ll pardon him? Is that why he endorsed Trump?
So I got a dumb question - how do you know where to start cutting the whales head off?
They ain’t got no neck
You start at the San Diego.
That neck goes alllll the way down you know what I mean?
We need someone to make a RFK’s Van Adventures cartoon. Why does he always have such random shit in the back of his van all the time?
lol
