Summary0004468: Tame, well-fed animals keep attacking dwarfs
DescriptionWhat the description says... my report screen is full of puppies attacking dwarfs, dogs attacking dwarfs, even war dogs attacking dwarfs. Thankfully my tame hunting jaguar hasn't gone ballistic like this yet, but it seems it's only a matter of time. The dogs only attack once per report, the dwarfs don't fight back, and the worst injury sustained so far is a bruise, but if the jaguar decides it wants to gnaw on some dwarfs things could get fun fast. Not one of the animals involved is listed as hungry or thirsty on the Health Status screen.
Steps To ReproduceDanged if I know, this is the first time I've seen it happen. These are the dogs I embarked with, and the puppies they've had. The jaguar is a purchase from an elf caravan.
TagsNo tags attached.

It's not a bug, it's a feature - overcrowded animals get ornery.

"Animals crammed into one place for too long can become grumpy and violent [...]"

This is an intentional feature. If they're failing to spread out, that's covered by 0004366.
