Environmental group calls for investigation into RFK Jr.'s dead whale story

In the interview, published in Town & Country Magazine, his daughter claimed that Kennedy tied the whale's head with a bungee cord “to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour drive back to Mount Kisco, New York.” She said the whale washed ashore on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, and the incident occurred when she was six years old.

“Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would run into the car windows and it was the most disgusting thing in the world,” said Kick Kennedy.

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund sent a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Monday claiming that under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act, it is illegal to possess “any part of an animal, dead or alive,” according to the letter obtained by USA TODAY.
