Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted that he had been picking up roadkill meat his “whole life” and that he had a “freezer full of it” at home in a revelation that comes just days after his bizarre Central Park bear cub dump bombshell.
On Sunday RFK Jr. admitted he was responsible for leaving a dead bear cub in New York ten years ago after he picked up the animal he said a woman hit with her van. The presidential candidate published a video online talking to actress Roseanne Barr on Sunday, trying to get ahead of a New Yorker article. At the time, the incident was a national story in the press – first published by his own relative in the New York Times.
On Wednesday the independent presidential candidate for the 2024 election was defending his New York residency in court on Wednesday when he responded to journalists outside who were more interested in asking about his habit of picking up roadkill. RFK Jr. prompted laughter from reporters, speaking outside the Albany courthouse, said: “I’ve been picking up roadkill my whole life. I have a freezer full of it.”.
However, according to the Associated Press, his campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear later clarified that Kennedy was serious, noting that he used the roadkill to feed his birds.

Oh geeze. Read the room Bobby.
He was being sarcastic.
But, the internet doesn’t understand sarcasm.
Remind me not to invite RFK Jr. to the potluck...
Does he have pet vultures?
Talk about wierd.
Bet Meatloaf Mondays are to die for in his house. LOL!
Just good ole boys, never doing no harm.
I want to see RFK in the General Lee jumping over a bridge!
What kind of birds does he have? Falcons?
Although chickens will eat meat too, he is a Kennedy and probably has more expensive interests.
“He collects roadkill to feed his birds”
His birds?
What? Does he raise vultures, or provide sanctury to raptors?
Sounds kind of strange however...
Years ago I knew a guy who worked for the New Jersey DOT and his job was to cruise NJ roads cleaning up roadkill, he would take the carcasses home, he would remove hide, flatten it, separate the hides with butcher paper and freeze it. Then periodically he would take a spin up to NYC to some furriers up there and he would sell the furs to the furriers. He used to make around $5k a year doing that, and this is back in the 70s... which was pretty good money back then.
I also went to high school with a guy that used to pick up roadkill but he was studying Taxidermy and he would make and he would practice Taxidermy on the critters. HE he had squirrels and raccoons and all kinds of mounted animals in his basement, he was totally into taxidermy and he was pretty good at it.
In the south picking up fresh road kill happens quite frequently. A vehicle hitting a deer in many cases results in the law enforcement officer putting down the animal if it is still alive and many times people will ask for the remains, take it home and dress it and freeze the meat.
And unlike Walz, it doesn't involve little boys.
“He was being sarcastic”
Noted, but not the greatest idea when you say your a serious candidate for the leader of the free world wouldn’t you agree?
I’m more interested in where his money comes from...
ick
the fact that he has a hollywood wife is interesting.
He’s into falconry, but apparently has two ravens and an emu. Seriously.
Maybe the Democrats were correct, and his family correct to oppose his run, running out of the party even. I wonder if he was crazy before the worms began eating his brain years ago?
What is he doing? It seems Bobby Jr. comes out with one oddball, disturbing story about himself after another.
Is he trying to convince his followers to vote for another candidate? Self sabotage? Just quit,then. Throw in your towel and cross your name out. His press agent must be tearing their hair out by now.
IOW, he's this campaign's Ross Perot.
