   Okay, so I’m playing around with different things and noticed that I have a lot of animals. No big deal, since they can make such wonderful snacks. I figured ‘Hey, I got military going. Why don’t I go ahead and figure out how to butcher animals so that I can ensure that my wonderful meat stockpile never truly goes down to zero.’

   So I find that I already have about five or so donkeys that been born and are in the process of growing up. No big deal, we can keep them around and make burritos out of them when we're feeling a bit peckish. So, my butcher (who I finally have a flurgen use for) takes him for a nice walk around the fort before taking him to the shop and killing the thing. I have it qued up for processing…

   And then, all of a sudden, the recently arrived McHauler family flood into the butcher shop and take everything that isn’t nailed down. I think most of it went into a food stockpile… which is strange because I’m not sure if I’ve butchered it or not. All I really know is that now I have +20 meat stuffs, and the tanner is qued up to tan a hide.

   So, what just happened?

It's Natural for Haulers to Haul everything that isn't nailed down into a Stockpile

[Brandedahall]

your butcher murdered that poor innocent donkey foal, and made it into meat, then people ran in and collected the parts and took it to the food stockpile. the tanning of the hide, is normal too.

it should say , uristmcdonkey has died if you have given it sweet freedom

Tame animals explode into a smorgasbord of assorted organ meats the moment they get inside the butcher's shop. It's perfectly normal.

Unlike butchering a corpse, which takes a while and is dependent on the skill of the butcher, slaughtering a live animal is instantaneous, magically turning the animal into a pile of meat the moment the animal reaches the butcher's shop.

The Tame Donkey was indeed struck down.

That's what confused me. I suppose I'll still get the 10 or so bones from it, though?

You should get everything you'd have gotten from butchering the corpse of a wild donkey.
