Domestic dogs are thousands of times more dangerous than large predators in terms of attacks and fatalities, yet we encourage cohabitation with these animals.

And for just about any rancher in Eastern Oregon, if your dog attacks their herd, you can say goodbye to that dog, it will be shot if caught.  Completely legally too- a trespassing dog or cat in Oregon is officially a stray out of the control of the owner, a pest that the neighbors are not expected to put up with.

Does that law apply in metro areas of Oregon such as Portland, Salem, or Eugene?

I believe it does, but to a lesser extent since often firearms are banned by local ordinance, and likely you're not going to have any livestock to be damaged (also depending on local ordinance- I was surprised to learn that I could keep chickens in the backyard in Beaverton).
