So i just started a new fortress on a savage biome, and I'm a season in and already have several Sasquatches in cages. From what i can see from the wiki there is nothing interesting I can do with them, so is there any easy way to get ride of them so i can have my cages back? preferably with their body retrievable for butchering.

I'm a df noob so there probably is an easier way than this, but I think it'll be good. First, put the cage in an empty room. Second, set up a lever to release the prisoners. Third, flood the room. Forth, release them into the water (they can't drown in cages). Fifth, they drown. Sixth, get rid of the water somehow (like another room that's bigger so it spreads out and evaporates.)

You now have dead sasquatch!

Also, while we're talking about prisoners, does moving a prisoner from one cage to another let them attempt to attack the person escorting them? Or are they essentially "hand cuffed"?

Yes, they can still attack. So these cages should be near each other (Unless you're looking for Fun).

Ya im thinkin im gunna have to do this, was looking for something that takes very little preparation, but i might not have a choice.

Might just throw them in while im irrigating my farm....

Invaders (NOT thieves) seem cuffed - I've had them break free and try to run to the exit, only to have Gimpy McPeasant chase him down and grab him again to drag him screaming to his pitfall execution.

You can use them to train your military. Build their cages, link to a lever, release them one at a time into your (prepared, in-position) squad, and let the boys have a little fun.

1. Wait for the Ettin to appear.
2. Capture said Ettin, and escort him to his lodgings.
3. Feed the Ettin Sasquatch. Feeed him.

[Shogger]

My favorite method is a long drop. You can either build a tall tower, or dig a deep pit. Either way, just get a 7-10 Z level drop, pit any unwanted prisoners, and that should finish them off in a nice spatter of gore.

[Shambling Zombie]

Or throw them down a shallow pit into a room with no way out, and use them as a way to dispose of the inevitable Goblin prisoners.

Ettins eat what they kill? Seriously?

I was hoping I'd get a dragon in my new fort so I could tame it and stick it in a gold-clad room, lined with statues, to feed him prisoners...but if I get an Ettin instead of a dragon, I'd just stick 'im in a hole.
