Former US presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., speaking in Glendale, has announced that he is under investigation by the National Marine Fisheries Institute for an incident that occurred 20 years ago involving the collection of a whale specimen. Kennedy revealed that he received a letter from the institute notifying him of the investigation. The incident in question involves Kennedy allegedly cutting off the head of a dead whale with a chainsaw and transporting it across state lines. Notably, Kennedy had previously admitted to dumping a bear cub in Central Park, and one of his daughters described in a 2012 article that her father cut the head off a dead whale that had washed ashore and bungee-corded it to the family's car.
