Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Reveals Controversial Bear Cub Stunt from a Decade Ago

In a surprising twist during the current election season, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has disclosed a bizarre incident from ten years prior involving a dead bear cub. In a video confession, Kennedy recounted how he picked up the carcass of the bear cub from a country highway, intending to skin it for meat. He humorously described the challenge of managing the bear's remains while attending a dinner in New York, ultimately leading to a decision that would spark public outrage. Kennedy, who claims he was sober during the incident, admitted that he and a group of friends, after a night out, transported the bear cub's body into Central Park, along with an old bicycle. The next morning, the bear cub was discovered by two women, prompting a police investigation that initially suggested foul play. The New York Post reported on October 6, 2014, that authorities believed the bear had likely been "murdered," leading to a forensic examination that revealed the cub was a six-month-old female weighing 44 pounds. The revelation has raised eyebrows, as Kennedy and his friends reportedly found amusement in the chaos that ensued from their actions. The incident diverted significant resources from law enforcement and public officials, who scrambled to address the potential implications of a bear in Central Park, alarming citizens about wildlife encroachment in urban areas. Critics question the ethics of such pranks, especially in light of the serious work required to investigate real crimes.
