My dad has two female dogs that stay outside most of the time. He lives out in the country and has a pretty large fenced in yard. Neither of his dogs are fixed. Last year when one of them went into heat, a neighbor dog jumped the fence and mated with her. Later when the other girl went into heat, he decided that he was going to "take care of the problem". I assumed he was going to get them both fixed. I was wrong. He "shot at" the neighbor dog (he has stormtrooper aim). When I found out I yelled at him for it, saying it is his responsibility to get his dogs spayed and that shooting at the dog was wrong. Most people I tell this to say I shouldn't have yelled at him and that he was just protecting his property. I don't think I was wrong, but pretty much everyone in my family acts like I was.
