How do I get my animals out of their cages?  Do I have to construct a cage, link it to a lever?  Or do I simply just dump the animal into a pit somewhere, then assign the animal to pasture?

[Garath]

if you assign it to a pasture, a restraint or a different cage, dwarfs will take it out of the cage it's in now. I hope it's tame though 

[Laurin]

Alternatively, if you don't want to pasture the animal, you can do it the old way: build the cage somewhere and then (q) it and unassign the animal.

do I have to build the cage first before I can assign it to a pasture, cuz I wasn't seeing those animals available to assign to a pasture when they are simply in an animal stockpile.

[Garath]

no, they should be available for pasture regardless of where they are, stockpile or constructed cage. It's always worked for me when I got animals from the elves (iirc)

They might be difficult to find in the animal list though

turned out it was due to my deconstructed trader...

the animals were still belonging to the trader... that was why
