Invaders should totally ignore animals that pose no threat to them. Likewise for cattle. Raiders killing livestock might make sense but the AI isn't anywhere near making actual judgments like that.

Pet armor should be added, it probably will be right around the time toady decides to get the mountable tag working, allowing your dwarves to ride animals into battle. It'd be nice to be able to deck war animals out in decent armor though, really open up new ways to defend a fort. Giant desert War scorpion clad in masterwork adamntite barding anyone?
