NYC Sanitation Department pokes at RFK Jr. bear story

The New York City Department of Sanitation threw some social media shade at Kennedy's admission that he dumped the carcass of a bear cub in Central Park — while also using the incident as a teaching moment.

"Wondering how to dispose of a dead animal in New York City?" a post on the department's X account read. It included a figure standing in front of three trash bags, marked "Paddington," "Fozzie" and "Gummy," referring to the fictional character, Muppet and candy respectively.

The post links to information on how to properly dispose of a dead animal in New York City. Throwing the carcass into the park is not one of the options listed.
