#3 The traditional solution to the stray and feral dog problem in South America was itinerant "dog poisoners", who would go from town to town. Each town would provide them with a 55 gallon drum, a specified poison, hunks of rotting meat to marinate in the poison in the drum, and a wheelbarrow.

Then, in the early a.m., after due notice to the public to keep their dogs inside, they would put out the meat around town for the stray dogs. An hour or two later, the poisoner would collect the dead dogs, and any uneaten meat, for disposal.

Though this was not terribly demanding work, such people were paid handsomely, and often developed severe psychological problems, which is no surprise.

#4 An even more traditional solution to stray and feral dogs is to open Korean restaurants. Kagoi! About the only dogs or cats I saw in country were on the side of the fence housing the US Forces.

#5 If they'd start animal shelters or humane societies it might help.
