RFK Jr. Admits to Dumping Dead Bear Cub in Central Park 10 Years Ago
In a bizarre video posted on his social media feeds, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. admitted to dumping the body of a bear cub in New York City’s Central Park in 2014—an incident that caused a police animal cruelty investigation but was never solved.
In the video, Kennedy tells comedian Roseanne Barr the incident began when he was driving to meet people to go falconing in Goshen, New York. As he was driving through the Hudson Valley, he saw a woman in front of him hit a “young bear” with her van.
“I pulled over, I picked up the bear and put it in the back of my van. Because I was going to skin the bear, and it was in very good condition. And I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator. You can do that in New York—you can get a bear tag for a roadkill bear.”
