Might be related to woodcutting. I seem to recall Today mentioning it in a interview. Destroy the natural habitat of the wild boars, expect them to get upset about it.

Make some crossbows and see them off with hunters I guess.

Once one of your dwarfs or the animal responds aggressively, they tend to fight more often. If you have dogs, it happens more often (but this is good because the dogs often chase away the animals before they interrupt your dwarfs).

Make three or four dwarfs into hunters, make an extra meat stockpile, and set up an order to craft more bone bolts if the supply is low.

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

"Agitated" animals are a new subtype introduced with the steam release. I suspect they're meant to represent the occasional animal attack that settlers in our world dealt with in the past. It seems likely (but I can't confirm) that there are more of them in Untamed Wilds regions.

Apparently fishing upset the wildlife quite a bit in 50.01. Nerfed in 50.02.
So probably just woodcutting now. Or paving over the entire map.

I've had no agitation from digging so far, and I dug out quite a large chunk of the surface.
