Feral dogs and cats are a problem in some Caribbean countries. I recall travelling to Turks and Caicos back in the 1990s and seeing packs of feral dogs while driving to the resort from the airport. I also saw feral cats on the beach. One of the locals, in response to my inquiries about the situation, told me the government had hired "bounty hunters" to kill the dogs in particular, because they were harassing the tourists. I assume they were paid per diem based on the head count of animals killed. An Island like that can only have an economy based on tourism, so it is a dirty job they have to do to keep the tourists comfortable and coming back every year. Turks and Caicos also had a shark problem which they solved by dumping garbage on the coast of a remote area of the Island where there is no development. This attracted sharks away from beach areas where there are many swimmers who could become shark food. The T&C are the #3 scuba diving destination in the world, because of the shark population and abundance of marine life.
