[3x3]

It exist in my country a terrible and horrible tradition... ...Some special task force has to rise a puppy dog from 3 years and after that must kill it to prove his discipline.  !!!Terrible!!!. And now what would happen if we try it in dwarf fortress with our dwarves?. I don't have much time because of my job to try it, and it would be interesting read some experiments results on this. FOR SCIENCE!!

Minor bad thought for the pet owner, that's all.

Urist recently felt nothing after seeing a puppy die

[Dunamisdeos]

I use dogs for bones, leather, food, and war.

The dwarves do not mind.

You couldn't force the dwarf to kill it themself, but you could force them to watch it die, and then force them to watch it decay to increase the strength of the bad thought. Of course, there wouldn't be much point to this other than making a nice story, but I think the story would be cool enough.

IN FACT...

I believe the [Dwarven Child Care Program] relied on this concept of forced puppy death voyeurism to harden it's applicants. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140588.0

This sounds like something out of 1984.

Oh wait, the Overseer is watching and can see your thoughts.

Bay 12 is a place where a normal person's horrific atrocities are commonplace, and are furthermore utilized in a practical fashion to make everyday life easier.

Is this an Unsullied joke?

Alternative: make them train it several times over 3 years, let it go wild, enlist in militia.

Alternative no.2:

L=Lever ^=spike trap -=chain X=wall

XXXXXX
L^-XXX
XXXXXX

Assign to chain then pull lever. Heheh.

I'm not sure that's possible with a dog.

[NJW2000]

Which one?

[Broseph Stalin]

Which one?

The first one. They're a domesticated species that doesn't occur naturally so they can't go wild or be trained more than once (for war/hunting).

[NJW2000]

Ah, didn't realise that dogs don't occurr naturally. Still, any animal will give an extra bad thought if the dwarf who has trained it several times sees it die.
