I needed Mountain Goat parts for a picky moody dwarf, and it turns out the only 2 in my fort belong to another dwarf. I've tried designating them to be butchered, but I can't toggle it for any of the pets. How can I do this without killing the guy?

[CinnibarMan]

Can't.

Gotta kill the owner.

[AdeleneDawner]

I forget - would killing the goats with a spike or falling trap leave usable bits? That might work, if so.

See : Blockedlance

Put several pet unpossable doors down a one tile wide hallway. At the entrance right before the door, add an upright spike/spear. At the end of it, add a lever connected to spear(s). Use workshop profiles and restrict lever to pet owners. Add "Pull the Lever R" job to lever. Watch animals dissapear.

Couldn't you just use an animal that hasn't been adopted? Or even dwarfier, just dash out into the caverns/outside to kill an animal yourself?

Right, that will definitely kill the critters. The question is whether the resulting critter-bits can be butchered into bones and such.

i think they bury pets including body parts.

This is my understanding as well. To the best of my knowledge, if you want to butcher pets, you first have to butcher the owner.

[hapes]

There is an unit setting that says not to coffinize pets, but I'm not sure that answers if you can butcher the corpse.

[BlastoiseWarlorf]

It seems it is Time for some !!Science!!. It will be hard to replicate because you would need a mood requiring body parts....

[immibis]

Why would you need a mood involving body parts to find out whether you can butcher pet corpses? (And I'm pretty sure you can't, at least I can't even butcher stray animal corpses)

[MarcAFK]

notice the lack of parts or corpse of any kind, all that's left is some blood...

edit, i forgot to check inside the spike trap

not sure a "Mutilated corpse" is useful for crafting of anykind

Your options are to hope that one goat gives birth very soon and that you can get bones from a Mountain Goat Kid (some small animals don't leave bones when you butcher them..), or let the dwarf go insane.
Pets, and assigned war dogs etc, can't be butchered no matter how they die.  I'm not even sure you could use their bones if you manage to separate them from the animal by force of gravity and leave them to rot.

[Newbunkle]

Is there a caravan due soon? If you're lucky (lol) maybe one of them will have a goat. Maybe you can trick the dwarf with a different animal?

[Urist McGyver]

Unless the owner in question is really useful, you could kill him to supply the corpse the moody dwarf wants so he can become legendary at said skill.
