Yes to this.
Honestly, having multiple older neighbors and a grandmother who is in her 90s, generally speaking they have a hard time dealing with change. Seeing a fence go up where there has not been one is a change and probably causes a bit of nostalgia for him as well. Does NOT make him in the right to complain in any way or any easier to deal with but patience is your friend here.

Tbh, it be just be because I'm around older citizens all day at work, but I see a lot of "older citizens are annoyances/nuisances" attitude from our generation, and it makes me... sad.
If somebody that was younger asked that question, people would be like "they were trying to educate themselves!". But because it was an older fellow, he must have been complaining. Maybe he just thought you'd know, since you have animals.
Maybe your fence IS bothering him. Maybe that's what he's annoyed at. Putting up a fence isn't exactly quiet... maybe you put it up when he takes his naps or is trying to sleep otherwise. I get annoyed at my neighbours when they get loud and wake me up/keep me awake... doesn't mean I'm going to poison their animals.
lol sorry, that just turned into a vent itself
