Purchased turtles yield no bones or shells. You need to butcher an animal a baby to get bones for him.
Fix'd
Really fix'd.
Besides, you can't butcher sentients for meat/bones, let alone YOUR OWN CHILDREN. Children deserve a life, too, you idiot.
You have to wait for them to decay into baby skeletons, then you can butcher them IIRC. Also, he never said baby dwarf. Maybe he just wants to butcher baby puppies. Isn't that much better?
I care not. Puppies can be saved to be trained for war/hunting, and if food requirements are dire, the adults drop much more meat/bones.
'Baby' refers to d0rfen babies. 'Puppy' refers to young dog, 'lamb' to young sheep, etc. So whenever the word 'baby' is used in a butchering post, I ALWAYS think it means the babies of your fort's population.
OK, people, let's forget about this and bring this thread back on the rails. Methinks we've gone TOO FAR with this.
