It's not.  If they tasted dwarf blood before they were trained, they may never truly be tame now.

You never know when you might need a berserk dwarf to set loose somewhere.

Animals which are confined in too small of an area will randomly attack each other and your dwarves.  Put your exotic creatures in a sizeable pasture somewhere away from your meeting area.

If it's random it's most probably they don't like the confined space they share with your dwarves. Where are you keeping them?

Urist saw a giant cave spider recently. Urist did not enjoy being covered in web recently. Urist did not enjoy being devoured recently.
