New Records Reveal the Mess RFK Jr. Left When He Dumped a Dead Bear in Central Park

In July 2014, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. allegedly released a dead bear cub into Central Park as a prank, describing it as “fun”. The incident has been shrouded in controversy for years, with many expressing outrage over the reckless behavior of the high-profile environmental activist and former presidential candidate. Now, newly obtained records by WIRED have shed light on the extent of the damage caused by Kennedy’s actions. According to the documents, New York city officials were left to deal with the aftermath of Kennedy’s prank, which included cleaning up a mess created when the bear cub died in the park. The city spent thousands of dollars on waste removal and cleanup efforts, while animal control services worked to safely capture the remaining remains of the dead bear.
