Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who currently serves as America’s Health Secretary, allegedly halted his family car on a highway to extract the genitals of a raccoon for research purposes. This revelation comes from a newly published book titled RFK Jr: The Fall and Rise, which claims to be based on diaries penned by RFK Jr. In a diary entry from 2001, Kennedy supposedly wrote about the peculiar behavior of some of his family members while he was dissecting the raccoon on I-684, with his children waiting patiently inside the car. Kennedy has a documented history of interacting with roadkill, including an incident where he rescued a bear cub hit by a car and intended to skin it for meat storage.
In a separate account, RFK Jr admitted to picking up roadkill throughout his life, boasting about having a freezer stocked with such finds. His daughter, Kathleen, recounted an episode from 2012 where her father used a chainsaw to remove the head of a beached whale near their Massachusetts residence. The head was then secured to their car for a lengthy five-hour drive, resulting in an unpleasant journey with whale fluids seeping into the vehicle. Despite the bizarre occurrences, Kathleen mentioned that such events were ordinary in their family’s day-to-day life.
