Robert F Kennedy Jr, who currently serves as America’s Health Secretary, reportedly halted his family car on a highway to extract the penis of a raccoon for research purposes. This revelation surfaced in a recently published book, RFK Jr: The Fall and Rise, which draws from diaries attributed to RFK Jr. In an entry dated 2001, Kennedy is quoted as reflecting on the peculiar behavior of certain family members while he performed the procedure beside his parked car on I-684, with his children waiting patiently inside.

Kennedy has a documented history of encounters with roadkill incidents. In one well-known incident, he recounts rescuing a bear cub that had been hit by another vehicle in New York State. He mentioned intending to skin the bear and store its meat in his refrigerator after placing the bear in the back of his van. Subsequently, Kennedy acknowledged leaving the bear in Central Park and arranging the scene to imply that a cyclist had struck it.

In a separate instance, Kennedy confessed to a long-standing habit of collecting roadkill, noting that he keeps a freezer stocked with such specimens. His daughter Kathleen shared a story from 2012, recounting how her father utilized a chainsaw to remove the head of a beached whale near their Massachusetts residence. The head was then affixed to their car for a lengthy five-hour journey, during which the family endured the unpleasant experience of whale fluids seeping into the vehicle, prompting them to shield themselves with plastic bags while receiving disapproving gestures from passersby on the road.
