In a bizarre incident, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was running for president at the time, admitted to dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park in 2014 as part of a prank. The cub's body was found on October 6, 2014, and officials were initially unsure what had happened to it.
According to documents obtained by WIRED, Kennedy claimed that he found the cub near an old bicycle in the Hudson Valley area. However, experts have questioned his account, pointing out that the bear would not have been able to survive for seven months before dying. The investigation led by wildlife health biologist Kevin Hynes concluded that the cub was likely hit by a car and killed.
The incident raises questions about Kennedy's judgment and decision-making skills. He claimed that he put the bear in his van with plans to skin it and store its meat in his refrigerator, but decided not to do so due to time constraints. Instead, he chose to dump the body in Central Park, which left city employees to deal with the aftermath.
The incident has sparked controversy over Kennedy's actions, with many questioning why he would choose to dispose of a dead animal in such a manner. The documents also reveal that Kennedy was aware of the potential consequences of his actions and took steps to cover his tracks, including making a video admitting to the prank in an attempt to get ahead of a story that was about to be published.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible behavior, particularly for those in positions of power. The bear cub's premature death is a tragic reminder of the impact that human actions can have on wildlife.

dumping a dead bear cub in Central Park like, who does that?! I mean I've heard of pranks but this is wild. And why would you even do it with a van? It's not like you're going on a road trip or something 
. I'm also kinda disappointed that he didn't just leave the cub alone and let nature take care of it you know? anyway I guess this shows that people in power have to be held accountable for their actions and stuff 
. And wow 7 months is a looong time for a bear cub to survive can you even imagine being stuck in Central Park for that long 
.
it's not just about judgment and decision-making skills, it's also about the conspiracy here... think about it, if kennedy was planning to get ahead of a story by making a video admitting to the prank, does that mean there was something fishy going on in the first place? like, was he trying to cover up something or did he just really love pranks 
anyway, i'm not saying kennedy is a bad guy or anything, but the more i think about it, the more i'm convinced that there's more to this story than meets the eye 
.
and I gotta say, dude was totally outta line. Who does that?! He thought it'd be a funny prank but ended up killing the little guy and leaving city employees to deal with it 
. And get this, he even made a video admitting to it like he was trying to spin it into something good 
. What's wrong with this guy?! 
I don't think dumping a dead animal in a public place is cool or funny at all. It's just plain irresponsible and inconsiderate. We need people in positions of power to act responsibly, not like this 
. Read the full story here: 
. I can understand why people are upset about this, especially since it's not exactly the most responsible thing to do with a dead animal.
. And yeah, it is weird that he knew there were gonna be consequences and still went ahead with it anyway 
. It's just one of those situations where you're like, "What are you even doing?"
.
. but seriously, this is a huge red flag for someone who's trying to run for president. how can we trust him to make responsible decisions when he's willing to play with animal carcasses like it's no big deal? 
he literally kills a baby bear and then just leaves it in central park like wut r u even thinking?? 
and dont even get me started on the fact that he made a video admitting to it lololololol what kind of person does that?
