RFK Jr.'s Daughter Says Dad Cut Off a Whale's Head, Drove It 5 Hours Home

Source: The Wrap

When they would accelerate, “whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick Kennedy explained to Town & Country Magazine.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s daughter Kick Kennedy may or may not be spending time with Jennifer Lopez’s estranged husband Ben Affleck (as reported by Page Six), but she certainly spent time with Town & Country Magazine for a profile that has been resurfaced and made waves on social media, in which she shared an anecdote about her father and a dead whale that still checks out with what we know about the odd politician — especially when it comes to his love for dead animals.

When she was 6, her dad chopped off the head of a whale that washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. Due to RFK Jr.’s love of studying animal skulls and skeletons, they then strapped the dead whale’s head to the car and spent five hours driving it to their home.

The weirdest part of this is that Bob Jr named one of his kids "Kick".

This dude just ain't normal. But I'm seriously curious about how he keeps on finding preservable exotic animal corpses. One more, and I'm ready to declare this is not a string of coincidences.

Her name is Kathleen and Kick is a nickname.

From Wikipedia:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Cavendish,_Marchioness_of_Hartington

Kathleen Agnes Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington (née Kennedy; February 20, 1920 – May 13, 1948), also known as "Kick" Kennedy,[1][2] was an American socialite. She was the second daughter of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose Fitzgerald, a sister of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Ted Kennedy, and the wife of the Marquess of Hartington, heir apparent to the 10th Duke of Devonshire.

which was well after the 1972 Marine Mammals Act. I am betting it is illegal for RFK Jr. to have this skull. Any marine mammals parts can only be collected by indigenous people and if sold needs to be signed by said American native before it can be transferred to a non native.

You can keep them if found on a beach within 30 feet of the water as long as you register them.

But you cant sell them.

I once cleaned a defleshed pig skull, which is greasy, and it was VERY difficult to get it clean of the oil and odor-free. I can't imagine what cleaning a whale skull would be like, especially if he had to remove the flesh first. I suspect the head went in the trash once he got tired of dealing with it.

I also wonder what he used to decapitate the whale. Did he keep a chain saw in the trunk of his car?

Here's Kick in an epi of Curb (incorrectly) calling out Larry for an attempt at a "chat & cut." She's the one in the blue shirt. Her part starts at the 2:10 mark.

I'll give him credit, he's very good at it. The bear incident went much smoother.

I know he's negotiating a cabinet position with Trump. Maybe he'll make Department of Animal Removal a cabinet-level position
