build a cage (with gobblin in)

hook up cage to lever in your barracks/dining room and pull lever, goblin hops out and gets mauled by your troops/ mauls your peasants

There is another way too. If you define an activity zone (i) over a downwards ramp (preferably a 1-z-level one, not a dwarven slide into magma), set the activity zone as an active pit [p], then press [P] to open settings and set the creature you want freed to be pitted, then it will be freed and thrown down the ramp. It will never receive injuries, but will probably be stunned for a short while.

PS. I wonder if the creature really would slide down a series of ramps while stunned... We must answer this in the name of SCIENCE!

This guy gets it, the problem with the child torture dungeon is that they weren't set on fire first.
