RFK Jr's diary entry from 2001 describes him cutting the penis off a roadkilled raccoon on an interstate highway while his children waited in the car, according to a new book by author Isabel Vincent published this week. The Guardian article is well-sourced to the book and prior reporting about Kennedy's pattern of collecting and dissecting dead animals. The incident is now a decade-old anecdote newly made public through a biography, raising questions about judgment during his tenure as health secretary but without direct health or policy implications.
