I think my main objection to this plan would be that eating rotten zombie meat is disgusting and it probably wiggles around in your stomach.

Consider it a natural laxative as zombie meat tries to escape your bowels.

That's a pretty goddamn horrifying concept. :o

Luckily the meat will both remain fresh -somehow...- and once the zombie goes down all the supernatural energy should be released. So you don't... Yeah... >.>

You know you're in a wonderful place when people are (to put it bluntly) discussing pooping zombie pet parts :D

Whispers did some work with a necromancer-based zombie pig program or something

No, they're not. Dwarves have little atom smashers in their mouths beards. Nothing gets to the other end, so having a functioning digestive system evolved away. The guts are just the remnants of that system.

Now I need to discover where vomit comes from. Time for !!SCIENCE!!

Someone should make a mod where the dwarves need to take a piss and shit regularly. You would have to build proper sanitation and it would bring a whole new aspect to the fort building. Could also add a job like excrement burning which a poor sod could do on a regular basis. Doubt it would happen though considering most people would like to forget this even exists.

Undead pets can be butchered, though. Loud Whispers did some work with a necromancer-based zombie pig program or something, and it actually produces more edibles than the creatures themselves would if butchered alive, apparently because of the physical attribute bonuses the undead get to strength and toughness. So, after your running of the dralthas, maybe leave the corpses forbidden and let a necromancer rummage through the place before they start rotting and run 'em again! :P

Note that the undead can be scary because many of the things that weaken the living in combat like pain and fatigue don't occur to the undead, putting even highly-trained soldiers at a moderate disadvantage, especially when outnumbered.
