Mass. cops puzzled by butcher-quality meat chunks

[November 21, 2008]  FRAMINGHAM, Mass. (AP) -- Police are trying to figure out who keeps leaving chunks of meat on the town common, and why.

Police said residents have been finding butcher-quality cuts of meat on the common for about five weeks. In the most recent incident, a resident discovered a large piece of raw, unwrapped meat, along with what appeared to be a liver and some bones on Tuesday.

Police Lt. Paul Shastany said someone may be trying to poison animals, so the meat has been sent for testing.
