Obligatory dev items post (though there's a good chance this wasn't on the list when this thread was created):

# Req509, CASTRATING ANIMALS, (Future): Dwarves should be able to castrate male animals. Spaying female animals might be beyond the ability of dwarves to do reliably.

Pfft... it is not above dwarven ability to do reliably on females....

One Needle, One yard of thread, and one chain (To hold said animal in place).
Female animal has 95% of orifice sewn shut. Prevents penetration and pregnancy.

Yeah, but it won't stop spores, which is how everything in DF reproduces...

The egyptians did that, and many groups in africa keep up the tradition which varies somewhat in severity since then. The egyptian method is outlined below.
The actual procedure involves removal of the clitoris, its hood, all labia, and sewing it up just enough to pass menstruation. A woman had to be surgerically opened after marriage.

Ayway, this IS a real and reliable procedure, even by dwarf standards. I however deem that there should be some risk of injury to the castrator. Especially in cases like elephants etc.


The sami people are reindeer-keepers. Since they herd their animals, it is harder to control breeding. Something not uncommon among them is that if they got a hold of a male they aimed to neuter, and did manage to get the (not tame)animal in a position to reach its testicles, and didn't have a knife handy, they would use their teeth. It is now illegal, since the method wasn't really to sever the tissues, but to crush the testicles in question.

A short term solution to the OP's problem is to simply edit the raw's to remove breeding on the animals in question. I'm not sure how to go about that but I doesn't seem out of line.

Well if everyone wanted to mod to death then yeah...

But perhaps he might want cats then he has enough so he snips them all. using the raw files is not the way to go about this.

Time to bring this back into the light.

Good grief, WHY?  It's in the dev notes, didn't you bother to check those before reviving a year old suggestion thread?

Because its time to change it from a line of text into a real feature.

Kinda like congress saying they are going to adress social securities underfunding problem...  We are still waiting on that.
