So i just started my first evil embark and there are zombie animals literally everywhere. I know I can't kill them fort meat but is there any other use for them? Can I train them into udead war animals or anything?

They can be used as easy training for your military.

Other than that, harmless in this version. Skeletons are what you should look out for, but weak all the same against a trained force.

Don't worry, they won't sneak up and bite your head off. Too slow for...anything actually.

They aren't exactly threatening right now but they are making it impossible to get anything done in the fort. I'm sick of seeing "Urist McHauler cancels job: interrupted by zombie buzzard"

Catch them all and stuff them into a single cage. Then when the first goblin siege comes unleash the undead horde upon their faces and send in your militia to clean up whatever is left over.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Moat full of undead. Cover it with a retractable bridge. When nasties show up, retract bridge. (To stop civvies getting spooked).
