RFK Jr. Sparks Debate with Snake-Wrangling Video Amidst Animal Welfare Concerns
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has captured public attention with a viral video showing him handling two non-venomous black racer snakes bare-handed. The video, shared on his social media, depicts Kennedy removing the snakes from the patio of Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator. Kennedy, known for his outdoor exploits, has previously shared similar encounters with wildlife, including a controversial prank involving a bear carcass in Central Park. The video has elicited mixed reactions online, with some expressing concern over the potential stress inflicted on the snakes. Herpetologists have advised against handling snakes by their tails, as demonstrated by Kennedy, due to the risk of spinal injury to the animals.
