Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.acknowledged Sunday that he abandoned a young dead bear in Central Park after he initially planned to skin the cub for meat.
Kennedy said in a three-minute video on X that The New Yorker magazine found out about the incident, the date of which is unknown, and asked him for confirmation. Kennedy described driving north of New York City to go falconing with a group when he saw a woman in a van hit and kill a young bear.
“So I pulled over and I picked up the bear and put him in the back of my van because I was going to skin the bear, and it was very good condition,” Kennedy said in the video, talking to Roseanne Barr. “And I was going to put the meat in my refrigerator.”
