All tame animals will act as guards when assigned to a restraint, right?

I've got a breeding trio of tame Giant Jaguars, Giant Leopards, and Giant Desert Scorpions. I figure if I make enough of them I won't even need a military.

Training them takes away their edge.

What you do is have a bridge going over a pit with kitties(big kitties) in it.
Put one bear on the bridge and let it smack em in.*



*Not guaranteed to work.

What's to stop the bear from just, you know, attacking your dwarves?  And if chained, wouldn't it just get shot to pieces?

Chained, yes.
And to solve the problems;

Ok, here's our pit.

If marksmen shoot the bear, they de-cloak right?
So pull a lever and drop the bears above standing on trap doors onto the bridge.


And to answer about the dwarves, this is a kill passage.
Enemies always follow the shortest route, so make this, and then make a much longer twisting path elsewhere for your dwarves and caravans.
Mark the kill one as restricted, and there you go ~♥

Being tame keeps them from attacking your dwarves (assuming they haven't killed any dwarves yet, of course), and avoiding being shot is why I said to give them cover in my earlier post.

But I thought the whole point of this was to avoid having to use tame animals...

My dwaves think that chains are a great place to hang out...

Do they have a meeting hall/zone?
