If I remember right, PR has no snakes. That's because long ago Mongoose (Mongeese?) were brought in to eliminate them which they did but resulted in too many Mongoose. Then they brought in dogs to control them which they did but resulted in too many dogs.

I remember lots of dogs and packs of dogs everywhere, feral and otherwise. I don't know if that's the case here or if this is a handgun violation.

I'd never shoot a dog unless being attacked and fearing for my life.

Just saying.

Google curiosity got me and I discovered either faulty memory or what I was originally told. Way too many dogs though: domestic, feral or wild many being aggressive.
