I was looking at my Sheriff when I noticed her current job was "Unchain Animal". Since I don't have any chained animals, I was kind of confused by this. But then I saw her walking into jail and realized she was going to release a prisoner.

Um.

Dwarves are mammals.
It may be a technicality, but it still works.

The problem is when the Sheriff cancels the job and leaves a legendary Craftsdwarf to starve to death or go insane because he's too busy to stop partying.

if you use chains/ropes and unconstruct them it will free whoever they are holding. Normally the sheriff will just grab them and lock them back up, but if the sentence is over then its a way to free them without wating for the sleeping/partying sheriff. I've never used cages so I don't know if they work the same way.

Anyway, I always though it was a sort of a joke - the sheriff would consider lawbreakers nothing but animals, hence 'chain animal'. Really it probably just uses the same code as the animal chaining code and the text never got changed.

The dwarves are in fact even more materialistic than that: Burying a dwarf at a graveyard is considered a "Store item at stockpile" job  . It's nothing to worry about, of course, just wires hanging out - the kind of thing that you'll see in an alpha.
