RFK Jr once beheaded a dead whale with a chainsaw and tied head to roof of his family’s minivan

Another bizarre, animal-related story has come to light about Robert F Kennedy Jr with his daughter revealing that he once beheaded a dead whale and tied its head to the roof of the family’s minivan, before setting off on a five-hour drive.

Kathleen Alexandra “Kick” Kennedy made the claim in a 2012 interview with Town and Country, where she traced her own “taste for the extreme” back to her “dad’s eccentric environmentalism.”

The story resurfaced on Monday and prompted calls for the government to investigate RFK Jr for potentially violating the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act.

It comes just weeks after the 70-year-old, who was running for president as an independent until hesuspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump on Friday, hit headlines for admitting that he dumped a bear cub in New York’s Central Park 10 years ago.

In the resurfaced 2012 interview, Kick Kennedy recounted one day when she was six and the family learned a dead whale had washed up on the beach at Hyannis Port, southeast of Boston.

The actor-turned-philanthropist said that, on hearing the news, her dad headed down to the beach armed with a chainsaw to cut off the whale’s head.

He then strapped the grim body part to the roof of the family’s minivan using bungee cords and then drove the family to Mount Kisco, New York – a drive around four to five hours long.

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick recalled in the interview.

“We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”
