Why not build a tower over a pit?  Drop your animals and prisoners a good 30-40 z-levels, for ludicrous gibs!

If you're worried about the appearance of the tower, go all megaproject-y on it.  Make it HUGE, both in height and footprint, with functional fortress areas and rooms throughout... Put the pit in the center of the tower, with windows so your dwarves on all levels of the tower can watch the !!Fun!!.

Bonus: Make the entrance a spiral of ramps and floors going around the inside.  Splatter the caravans with goblin parts as they make the ascent.

It has just occured to me that this is a very easy method of getting rid of cats (aka: pitting them somewhere deadly...)

Edit no doesnt work :/

It worked for me! In one of my earliest forts, before I knew how grazing worked, I performed experiments with the 'long drop with spike' method of butchery. It won against the butcherdwarf every time.

Build a 50z level high church and toss them off on the 24th of Granite every year

Exactly. Ethics in DF are very realistic - trivial and pointlessly selectively ex/inclusive.
