was digging through deathcauses, when I spotted one serious issue. Mossrovas. you had a rash of killing in 34 and 2 mossrova butchered then, and in 35 you butchered another mossrova (this time a tame one, so you bought it at caravan or capped it and trained it, either way its meat is in your food supply, cooked into unknown number of dishes, and infecting your dwarves with hallucinations which causes all sorts of nasty side effects. They get happier sometimes, but most of the time they freak out and attack each other. Each body part produces its own syndrome... check it out and see if this seems like what your seeing your dwarves are doing. There's at least 40 prepped meals with mossrova in your stock right now. This is why I use standardized meat... stuff that will mess your guys up has its name on it while everything else is just standard meat chop, lol.
the mossrova raw:

On top of this you have a vampire killing people. I will leave that subject alone because for what you describe, you have mossrova food moving through the list and as they freak out in the same dining room they go into tantrums hitting each other. Rage stirs and eventually someone dies.
