I spoke to the gate keeper at Sanibel entrance and there was a community watch person. I don't know if they called animal control - presumably they did...but if you are in that area with a dog or out walking on the golf course, you might keep your eyes open.
be very careful if you leave your dog, out door in your yard. Also be careful about your doggy doors..had a neighbor who had a racoon come into her home thru one of those doors....
