NYC Sanitation Updates Dead Animal Disposal Rules After RFK Jr. Confession

Following a video surfacing of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dumping a dead bear in Central Park, NYC Sanitation has updated its guidelines for dead animal disposal.

The video, originally from 2014, shows RFK Jr. and his friends disposing of the bear carcass in the park, sparking public outcry and prompting a response from the sanitation department.

NYC Sanitation's New Dead Animal Disposal Guidelines:

• Call 311: Report dead animals, including wildlife, for proper disposal.

• Do not dispose of dead animals in public parks or on streets: This is illegal and can pose health risks.

• Follow guidelines for large animal disposal: If you find a large dead animal (like a bear), contact the NYC Department of Health.

The department emphasizes responsible animal disposal to protect public health and the environment.

This incident serves as a reminder that improper disposal of dead animals is not only illegal but also harmful.
