Got the save here: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4111
2 legendary dwarves whose pets died are locked up in a room (I'm trying to starve them to death so they shut up). Their pets were executed with magma somewhere above F5 (the uppermost pump as far as I recall).
Unlocking the door won't help with the feeding job. I haven't tried draining the magma to see if they will try to reach the place of their pets' death.

I had this problem recently in 0.34.11 when I walled off a female rabbit pet and after the animal died, the owner still spammed 'cancel give food:animal inaccessable.

Although the dwarf went to the place of death, the dwarf still went and got food, which is apparently consumed somehow. The dwarf still spammed even when active military. I tried sending her at a mud FB with poison gas (which turned out to just be temporary unconsciousness and a rotten stomach), but the FB was so pathetic I had to send some tigers to knock the FB out. Then I sent her at some cave ogres, with predictable results.

Clearly I don't have the save point anymore and the dwarf is dead, but it should be reproducible.
