Previously, on September 6, the authorities of Dien Chau district discovered that a food business in Hamlet 5, Dien Thanh commune, owned by Mr. Tran Van Ngoc, born in 1993 and residing in Hamlet 1, Dien Binh commune, was keeping two rare wild animals in captivity: a fox weighing 4kg and a wild cat weighing nearly 2kg.
