A US presidential candidate is being roasted for appearing to eat barbecued dog in a newly surfaced photograph.

Independent candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr. holds an animal carcass with a metal stake through it and has his mouth open as if to take a bite, in the photo supposedly taken in 2010 and obtained by Vanity Fair.

He allegedly texted the photo, in which he stands next to an unknown woman, to a friend last year.

‘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,’ reported the magazine on Tuesday.

A veterinarian said the carcass appeared to belong to a dog, based on 13 pairs of ribs including a ‘floating’ one.
