Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains how he secretly dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park — He tells Roseanne Barr that he left the animal with an old bike to make it look like a bicyclist had killed the young creature

Pulling a prank in 2014, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. set up a dead bear cub to make it look like a bicyclist had killed it.

In a bizarre story shared by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on social media, he explained how he took a dead bear cub and dumped it in Central Park as a prank aimed at getting people to believe a bicycle had hit it and caused the animal’s death. Kennedy has long been sober after overcoming a 14-year heroin addiction when he was young, but apparently still thought it was a great idea to take advice from people drinking around him. The clip concludes as Barr delivers another “uh oh” and laughs again as someone in the background notes, “I think it’s a great story, personally.” The video then closes with an iris out film effect, narrowing down like the end of a “Looney Tunes” cartoon.
