Presidential candidate RFK Jr. ate a dog
As if it is not enough that he is a long-time heroin and cocaine addict, “sexually assaulted his family’s then-23-year-old nanny,” a narcissist with a pathological need for attention, and a conspiracy theorist. Now comes news that Robert Kennedy Jr. also participated in dog abuse — by eating one at a restaurant in South Korea.
Last year Robert Kennedy Jr. texted a photograph to a friend. In the photo RFK Jr. was posing, alongside an unidentified woman, with the barbecued remains of what he suggested to the friend was a dog. Kennedy told the person, who was traveling to Asia, that he might enjoy a restaurant in Korea that served dog on the menu, suggesting Kennedy had sampled dog.
The photo was taken the same year “he was diagnosed with a dead tapeworm in his brain.”
Although Kennedy now claims it was a goat, a veterinary expert confirmed the photograph shows the torso of a dog.
Here we go again
Joining a growing number of their colleagues, Critical Race Theory professors desperate to publish amplify their calls for dogs to perish. But we should never confuse the racist tropes and cruel policies peddled by professors seeking to make a name for themselves in academia with the cause of animal protection or human dignity. They are not the same, and they never have been.
New Zealand parents abuse children and cats in the name of “conservation”
New Zealand hunters held a cat-killing contest, putting to death nearly 400 cats. The organizers claimed they were raising money for local schools and doing so in the name of “conservation.” But they were not motivated by either. The cruelty was the point.
