The livestock tables needs to be slightly altered, as I do not think you can milk pigs

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

The raws clearly indicate that pigs are milkable.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Should that be reported as a bug?   :o

You could have berries on the rocks and the dwarves would say it was "berry gneiss."
You should die horribly for this. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

a pig is a mammal, mammals as a species group are classed as one of their key features of having mammery glands, that produce milk.

thus: no its not a bug, its completely accurate and you can infact get pig milk.

Just no one wants to.

considering dwarves milk purring magots, pig milk seems fine to me.

It just feels so... wrong.

But you're right.  This *is* Dwarf Fortress...

Bats aren't milk-able ingame though, but they are mammals.
Even male bats are able to produce milk :).
