"Late the previous day, a masked palm civet was found attacking a pet dog in a household in Donghe Township."

Actually there have been cases reported across the island but Taidong seems to be a hotspot. If it gets into the free-range dog population here, which would seem highly probable, then it's gonna be like being a zombie movie every time you walk down the street in Dulan.
