Recently, I had one of my lumberjacks (curiously) go into a fey mood for bones. However, having just used up all of it for crafts, I had four choices:

1. Grave-robbing from my tombs.
2. Kill wildlife, which would interrupt/damage my plans for an eventual wildlife preserve to counter extinction.
3. Kill my current trophies-in-waiting, two caged wild elephants.
4. Drop a stone cieling on the elven traders and harvest from their donkeys.

After the first option failed, the choice was pretty clear.

How many more times can I do this before war starts?

As far as I know, elves will never war with you. At least I have never gotten them to, and I have slaughtered elves by the dozens. Eventually they just stopped coming.

Destroy all the trees in the area, and place the logs around the trade depot, all the while, you trap them in there, as you unload a ton of water to blast them into an arena, with animals being viciously slaughtered, as they are helpless to save them because they can't shoot through windows.

That plan will hit all the anger points of the said "oriental" "DRUIDIC" entities, and if you want them to war with you, let them leave after the animals die, and use a water cannon to free them.

Hmm. Well, given I'm making a clear glass tower with ornamental axles in the middle of a jungle, tree-diplomacy war might work.

Just note that elven bowmen hiding parties may wreak a HUGE havoc on your small dwarven empire.
Once I had an elf platoon revealed in  the middle OF MY GRAND DINING ROOM! The fortress was screwed. Every dwarf who appeared in a doorway was immideately pincussioned .

That's what I call party-crashing.

Do elves hold your fort responsible for any and all troubles that happen to them while in the local area?  Or can they differentiate between death from wildlife/hostile civs and direct attack from your dorfs?

Reason I'm asking is because, well...

"Oh, were you guys there when I pulled the lever to the drawbridge?  Soooooorryyyyyyyyyyy...."

and harvest from their donkeys

You have perfectly good elves available and you use donkey bone?

[Il Palazzo]

is it possible to catch an elf and chain him at the front gate?

IIRC all civs will blame you for everything that happens to their people on your map.

[Shurikane]

Ah well.

Who needs over nine thousand bins of cloth anyway?

He was in a mood, and time was running out. Elves take too long to rot and I didn't have it modded to allow sentient butchering.
