I caught a goblin. I have already stripped him of everything. So now I have a naked Gobo in a cage... I want to let him loose so my military can beat the shit out of him with wood weapons. I have tried linking a lever to it. For some reason, it doesn't recognize it. But dwarves will move the cage around with the goblin in it.

Have you built the cage as a building?

Another way you can do it is setting up a cage with your military nearby, mark the goblin to be brought to the cage, then give your military a kill order. They will attack it while it is being moved between cages.

You can also try pasturing the green skinned menaces.  Unless that's been fixed recently.  Just make sure you have a military standing by and that the goblin is unarmed

If your dwarfs are able to move the cage around, then you haven't built it as a building (b-j), which is what you need to do in order to properly link it to a lever and open it that way.  Another way to do this is to dig out an "arena room" and have your animal stockpile one z-level above it.  Dig a channel next to the stockpile that leads down into the arena and build a hatch cover on it.  Then designate that tile as a "Pit/Pond".  You can assign hostiles to the pit (i-P) and your dwarfs will dump them into the arena for your military to pummel.  Note that if you try to pit kobold or goblin thieves this way tho, they will escape before going into the pit and wreak havoc.

Thanks for the replies, but my save got corrupted...  My first successful fortress, wasn't so successful...

I thought that they haven't done thay since before the alterations to animal taming?
