In fact, his Wikipedia page has an entire paragraph on his involvement in falconry. Which, as you note, probably isn’t surprising, given that he’s part of a blue-blood family.
The things governments get up to. 
I won’t lie, the falconry stuff is the first bit of info about him that makes him sound kind of cool.
(For an absolutely nuts person pushing dangerous misinformation that causes real harm, that is.)
I had the exact same thought process.
In rural areas, that’s pretty normal. If you hit a large animal with your car, you’re supposed to report it to the authorities, but generally you’ll get a choice of keeping the meat yourself or letting the authorities haul it off for donation to a food bank.
Dumping it in Central Park and trying to make it look like a bicycle accident, though, yeah, that’s pretty weird.
^ This. Apparently he thinks the winning message to voters is ‘I’m privileged, shady, AND irresponsible!’
Among the other disturbing aspects of this story is his conviction that leaving a large animal corpse in a public place, for government to have to deal with at taxpayer expense, is Trés Cool.
The fact that he works in wildlife rehabilitation is one of his few redeeming qualities.
RFK: “Some men see things as they are and say ‘why?’ I dream things that never were and say ‘why not?’”
RFK Jr.: “I dumped a dead bear in Central Park because, why not?”
Might have had something to do with that worm that ate some of his brain.
Man, could this get any stranger?
Aaaccckkk. Why did I ask that? Jinxed it, for sure.
Umm, what was he doing to that dead bear cub? 
It was going around bear naked. Not his fault.
Seeing a dead bear on the roadside and bringing it home for meat is something I expect from Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel, not someone who’s finishing up a long day of falconry with dinner at Peter Luger.
And I really hope you’re kidding about the food bank part because that sounds monstrously unsafe and demeaning. Around here the food banks are supplied by grocery stores donating their unsellable-but-still-safe-to-eat inventory like cans with torn labels or misdelivered product, not dead animals someone found on the curb.
No, in rural areas where wildlife corpses like deer, moose, etc. on the roadside are fairly common, the game wardens will tag it and give it to the motorist who hit it or found it; if that person declines it it will go to the local food bank. This of course applies to fresh roadkill which will be butchered quickly.
‘We’re going to throw this in the dumpster… Hey let’s give it to the poors instead!’ isn’t demeaning?
So nothing has surfaced about the stab and slash wounds?
“Here’s a chunk of a wild animal that could be riddled with disease and parasites and has been lying dead on the roadside for God knows how long” does, but this is veering off-topic.
I’ve never been more glad to be a city boy.
Plenty of people don’t find it demeaning to harvest roadkill. According to that site, picking up roadkill is legal in 30 states, although different states have different regulations around the practice.
For some reason I keep thinking about David Cameron and a dead pig.
Umm. No. Don’t eat roadkill.
And bear, for the most part are an acquired taste. Not acquired by me. Never, ever.
I don’t think food banks around here would take any wild meats.
There are individuals who’ll take it, no questions asked.
RFK,jr. Is a strange bird.
Maybe you shouldn’t have yoinked the wheel if you didn’t want the thread to go into that ditch?
