The Chronicle reports the "skinned animal" that was "still bloody and with bits of flesh attached" was found near the San Francisco Bay Area restaurants on Monday. Officials were able to find only one boar carcass, leading to speculation the same corpse had been moved around the city. 

Restaurant workers said they weren't sure if the boar was meant as a message to them or to other businesses in the area, the newspaper reported.
