fwiw I keep seeing Fyre Festival reports that talk about ‘feral dogs’ and implying the guests were in danger, and I can’t find any evidence supporting this. I CAN, however, find multiple reports of a stray dog problem (nicknamed ‘potcakes’ for the food that the locals feed them) that are completely sweet and not at all dangerous on the island they’re staying at.
So, from what I can gather, a bunch of rich kids saw dogs without collars and immediately started talking about FERAL BEASTS WITH UNQUENCHABLE THIRST FOR HUMAN BLOOD!!!! so, that’s fun.
However, there IS a serious overpopulation of dogs and cats on the island and HERE IS A SITE WHERE YOU CAN ADOPT SOME DOGS!!!! dw they accept out of country adoptions if u do adopt pls name them Fyre Festival as proof that good things can come from hilariously awful circumstances.
I’ve actually been to Provo and this is legit! Heads up though, Potcakes does run background/google earth checks to make sure those dogs are going to good homes with enough space. The average potcake-breed dog grows to the size of a small lab (medium sized doggos). They’re super sweet but have a lot if energy and need room to grow!
The problem is the same with cats, although they’re harder to find up for adoption. Potcakes has kittens on a rare occasion. My dad’s “”“tamed”“” feral from Provo had a kitten that we managed to get to Potcakes, but that’s the first I’d heard of them having felines!
If you can’t adopt please consider donating. Potcakes is a no-kill shelter run by locals and they save a lot of animals!
