Like I said I don't agree with people who say dogs should never be off-leash. They should be on-leash around livestock, but large dogs need to run and simply can't get the exercise they need walking on a leash at all times, at least not in their "peak years", pups and elderly dogs maybe different.

BUT if a dog has a history of attacking wildlife or of snapping at other dogs - even if it's a rare occurence - IMO they should definitely be muzzled. It's like wearing a seatbelt I guess - you don't EXPECT to crash on every journey but there's zero drawback to having that safety net in place.

So I wonder if this area is protected for the wild Wallabys. We live opposite protected land for Badgers and Deers....they should do the same for the Wallabys.
I dont know whether his Dog had history...but it has now...so he needs to muzzle it.
