Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has admitted to dumping a dead bear in Central Park back in 2014.

He made the shocking revelation during a recent interview with Roseanne Barr. Kennedy explained that he had been driving in upstate New York when he witnessed a car hit the bear. He picked up the carcass with the intention of skinning and butchering it for the meat.

"Kennedy said he picked up the bear while on a falconing expedition in the Hudson Valley, planning to bring it home, but the day ran long and he went straight to a dinner at Peter Luger Steak House in New York City."https://t.co/fZu9TFkmEp

However, due to an urgent trip to the airport, he ended up leaving the bear in Central Park alongside some intoxicated friends. This was done to prevent the meat from spoiling. Kennedy further revealed that he has been collecting roadkill for years.
“I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life.

I have a freezer full of it,” he stated, prompting laughter from members of the media.
His campaign spokesperson, Stefanie Spears, confirmed that the comments were serious. She added that Kennedy, who is a falconer, uses the roadkill to feed his birds. The story has overshadowed Kennedy’s ongoing civil trial, which began on Monday.
The trial addresses accusations that he falsely claimed a New York residence to be on the state’s ballot. Critics allege that Kennedy has not been a New York resident since 2014, having resided in Los Angeles during that time. However, Kennedy testified that his move to California was temporary to be with his wife, actor Cheryl Hines, and that he always intended to return to New York.
The judge has yet to decide the outcome of the trial. Despite the controversies surrounding him, Kennedy is striving to be on the ballot in all 50 states. However, polling analysis shows that he currently has just under nine percent support.
