Depends.  Are they (former) pets?

Nope, just regular tame strays.

They're slamming into a refuse stockpile. Try removing the stockpile and see what happens.

Also, stray animals who die get auto-butchered.

Nnnope. Still nothing.They're falling five stories into a room next to the butchery, but they're not butchering. Even if I enter the workshop jobs and do that, it cancels because it thinks there's no butcherable non-rotten corpses nearby.

Hate to ask, but they aren't forbidden, are they?

Nope.

I'm stumped, really. Maybe it's a bug that animals that fall to their death can't be butchered?

[Quift]

what happens if they fall 1 floor instead, and are killed automatically by a blender?

(big trap och menacing spikes triggered by pressure plates)

[Inquisitor Saturn]

Actually, I put a spike at the bottom, initially. I thought that was the problem, but removing it doesn't make them more butchered.

I just tried this. The animals fall and die, and they land on the refuse pile next to the butchery, but they aren't butcherable. Dang.
Is this a bug?

Dead strays can't be butchered.  I reported this, and wasn't very clear about it, so I'm not sure Toady put it on the list (and I'm too lazy to check now).

It makes fish farming hard, too.

[Inquisitor Saturn]

In other words, this currently only works with captured, untamed animals.

Exactly.

Oh, it's bug # 000833, so it's on there.
