I've always felt if in public keep your dog on a leash no matter how well trained it is.

1. Typically the law and why be that person.
2. Sets an example of responsibility. Sadly we all know this is useless.

On our propery our Ridgeback is always off leash, but the little guy he stays on a retractible, being a wild dog for most of his life if he sees something, he's after it. so this gives him some level of freedom to roam but gives us peace of mind he won't end up coyote chow if he left and got lost.

You have to keep the neighbouring farmers in mind too!! A lot of them will not tolerate a strange dog on their property if they have animals.
 
One hundred percent on dogs roving on other people’s farms . They can get shot and they get buried right there . Stops further conversation.
Compensation is paid by many counties for sheep / goats / chickens killed by dogs and coyotes , some pay for coyotes/ wolves but not dogs . Some farmers don’t like the hassle of calling out the inspector so Rover gets plugged , that way he doesn’t come back .

It happened to my dog years ago.. not far from where to poster lives. Turned out the farmer was a family friend.. and the father of my best friend.. who was at my house when the call came. Awkward for my friend.. but his dad was in the right. I didn’t know til later, but my dad had paid a few livestock bills.
 
For a few years after she inheirited the job from my Grandfather , my Mom was the livestock valuator for Halton County. She would show up at your farm to determine if your sheep ect. had been killed by wolves/coyotes or wild / roving dogs. The kill style and technique is very different so I'm told. Gramps was also the local blasting expert if you needed a rock or stump blown up on your farm, local dynamite guy, My childhood was different from most.....
 
I've seen dogs chasing deer in the woods and get shot, if you see a pack of dogs running together in the hunt you would realize just how wild instincts are.

Still have any of gramps old supplies? One of my university profs had a 5 gallon bucket of mercury in his garage. I couldn't get him to give me some. He's got to be dead by now. Not sure what happened to the stash.
 
Lol , no gramps has been gone for a while, no leftover product . Sordid tale , he got his blasting ticket when he was working in the same claypit ( Kelso red hills ) as my great gramp , and great gramp walked into the dynamite shed with a lite smoke, gramps got the promotion . Apparently didnt need a casket for great gramps , wasnt enough parts to fill a coffee can.
Great gramps was a demolition expert (sure..) in WW1 , I dont t hink we really understood PTSD at the time. Hearing details decades later I'm sure his demise was not an accident . With 5 sons , great gran became a bootlegger to make ends meet in Milton Hieghts, I still have her 'security' handgun, considered historic age now so not restricted .
you mention mercury , when I found my Moms chemistry set from the 1930's it contained radium , and 10 pages of fun with radioactive chemicals!!
