An environmentalist non-profit is calling for an investigation of former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is accused of breaking endangered species laws by chainsawing the head off of a beached whale.
Kennedy, who is known for his role as an environmental attorney and for being the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, was revealed to have used a chainsaw to decapitate a dead whale and take the trophy home on his car roof. While his daughter Kick Kennedy likely did not intend the anecdote to be controversial when she shared it with Town & Country Magazine in 2012, the Washington D.C.-based Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund claims Kennedy committed a felony by transporting the skull from the beach of Squaw Island in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts across state lines.
