Calls for RFK Jr. Whale Incident Probe

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faces calls from environmentalists for an investigation into a decades-old incident where he allegedly used a chainsaw to remove the head of a dead whale and transported it across state lines. The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund has urged federal authorities, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to investigate potential violations of wildlife conservation laws, including the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Endangered Species Act, and the Lacey Act. This resurfaced story, originally recounted by Kennedy's daughter in a 2012 interview, follows other bizarre revelations about Kennedy's handling of animal carcasses, including a confessed incident involving a dead bear cub in Central Park. The push for an investigation coincides with Kennedy's recent endorsement of Donald Trump after suspending his independent presidential campaign. Kennedy has not commented on the whale incident, which has gained renewed attention following tabloid reports about his daughter's personal life.
