I was reading another thread and come to the realization that I've been letting my animals run around free.  Then I realized that they congregate in the meeting hall which is the main dining hall... and they reproduce.  So do my dwarfs have to put up with dogs/horses/donkeys mounting each other while they eat? 

[Teckno]

yes, and I do believe the dwarfs actually enjoy it that way

That's fresh new meat for the butcher, so I'd think they enjoy it.

[Stargrasper]

No, they don't mount each other.  All reproducing creatures in DF, be it horse, carp, dwarf, or elf, reproduce via spores.

But they do have to put up with creature giving birth while they each dinner.

I think that's sort of abstracted, too, like in a sitcom. Mother goes off screen for a moment, you hear a yell or two, and then, three month old baby!

[Gergination]

Not to mention when a dwarf gives birth in the middle of heated combat.  That's gotta be a bit of a distraction.

[Andir]

Come to think of it, I do remember reading about spore based reproduction but it never sinks in due to it's far off nature (concerning mammalian mating habits...)

On and under the tables/chairs, no less.

No my good sir, that is an unexpected weapon!

[Megaman]

I really wish you could forbid cats from having 'fun' by using an orders command(dwarves keep cats from mating, 0% chance of a cataplosion!)

There is a command.  It's called a butcher's shop.

[Megaman]

they somtimes adopt immigrants under my nose, and once the happens twice all hell breaks loose.

[Rowanas]

The second i get any message about anything having children I lock the kids up in a cage made especially for that. When they grow up the dogs are let out and trained, while everything else just stays in the cage until it's dinner time. Cats are never let out, unless a previous cat has died and I need my vermin hunters

[ShadowDragon8685]

No, animals in DF do not reproduce by spores.

You can lock the female animal, the moment she gets into the fort, in a 1x1 watertight (and hence, airtight) room, and if it's not called a "cage" (or terrarium), she can still give birth.

No, creatures in DF get jiggy via high-frequency radio waves.

So, what happens when the dwarves eventually invent radio?
