WASHINGTON (TND) — An environmental group is calling for an investigation into Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after another bizarre event has come to light in a resurfaced interview.

In the 1990s, according to his daughter, Kick Kennedy, RFK Jr. used a chainsaw to cut off the head of a dead whale that had washed ashore at their family home in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

The 2012 interview with Town & Country Magazine details how he drove the whale's head back to their home in New York strapped to the roof of a minivan.

Kick Kennedy described the ordeal in shocking detail as she recalled her father liked to study animal skulls and skeletons.

Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet," she told the magazine. "We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.

CNN reported the interview resurfaced on social media after rumors spread about Kick Kennedy and actor Ben Affleck being romantically linked.

The Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, which recently endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president, wasted no time in sending a letter to the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) asking the government agency to investigate whether or not RFK Jr. "violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act,and possibly the Endangered Species Act, by illegally cutting the head off of a dead whale in or around 1994."

In the letter obtained by The National Desk, Brett Hartl, national political director for the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, stated that Kennedy violated the Marine Mammal Protection Act and possibly the Endangered Species Act.

While the story told by Mr. Kennedy’s daughter does not identify the species of whale from which Mr. Kennedy took its skull, under the Marine Mammal Protection Act’s regulations, it is unlawful for “any person to possess any marine mammal, or product therefrom, taken in violation of the Act or these regulation," Hartl argues. "Furthermore, in the Atlantic Ocean, the Endangered Species Act protects all individuals of Humpback Whale, Blue Whale, Fin Whale, Sei Whale, Sperm Whale, and North Atlantic Right Whale. And similar to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act makes it illegal to collect any endangered wildlife species for any reason without a permit.

The whale incident is the latest debacle plaguing Kennedy after he suspended his independent White House bid and chose to endorse former President Donald Trump.

Earlier this month, Kennedy admitted on video to Roseanne Barr about placing a bear carcass in Central Park as a prank.

The National Desk reached out to NOAA for comment but has yet to hear back.
