Summary	0004030: Live Vermin stolen from cages by buzzards or vultures
Description	Buzzards and vultures will steal live vermin from cages. If this behaviour is controlled by the [CURIOUSBEAST_EATER] token, then other creatures with that token (Bears, Raccoons, Rhesus Macaque, and others) would do the same. This bug was initially, erroneously, thought to be the stealing of bees from beehives. It occurred the first time by accident when I attempted to cage bees.
Steps To Reproduce	a) Embark without food/drink, and where wild buzzards/vultures are present. Trap a vermin in an animal trap and assign it to a built cage. A buzzard or vulture will charge towards the cage and steal the vermin. b) Embark without food/drink, and where wild buzzards/vultures are present. Build a cage and then a beehive. After the beekeeper has taken the bees from the wild colony, but before the bees are placed in the hive, assign the bees to the cage. A dwarf will intercept the beekeeper and transfer the bees to the cage. A buzzard or vulture will charge towards the cage and steal the bees[10000]. They do not appear to steal from the hive directly.
