Is there a reason why this is happening? I've made a danger room and set the door to be kept tightly shut so that pets don't follow my soldiers and get themselves killed. Well, a dwarf fainted in the danger room, someone apparently brought him some water in the bucket, but then decided to leave it in the doorway. Pets got in, got skewered, now I have angry soldiers.

How can I prevent this?

Dumping the bucket will cure your current problem. As for the danger room entrance I suggest that you make it multiple doors thick
i.e.

Code: [Select]

    XDX
    XDX
XXXXXDXXXXX
Danger RoomSince if its only 1 door thick then pet will often still slip in when the doors open for squad members to get through.

You could also place all of your soldier's pets into a pasture which will keep them confined to a certain area.

Making multiple doors can make these events impossible or at least very unlikely. Having a furniture stockpile specifically for buckets nearby also helps. Most dwarves will take the buckets right back to the stockpile after giving water or filling a pond.
Dumping it will resolve the problem for now. Be sure to have a dump zone ready.

This reminds me of the good old monarch butterfly corpse that played a significant role in the downfall of Boatmurdered by being jammed into the entrance door...
