- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is accused in a new biography of severing the penis of a roadkill raccoon for later study.
- The accusation stems from a 2001 diary entry allegedly written by Kennedy, quoted in Isabel Vincent's book, 'RFK Jr.: The Fall and Rise'.
- The alleged entry describes Kennedy cutting the raccoon's penis on I-684 while his children waited in the car, intending to study the organs later.
- Author Isabel Vincent stated that Kennedy, who once aspired to be a veterinarian, has a 'freezer full of roadkill' for his animal studies.
- This incident adds to a history of unusual encounters involving Kennedy and animals, including leaving a dead bear cub in Central Park and decapitating a whale carcass with a chainsaw.
