To remove an animal from a cage, it first needs to be placed via the Build menu ({{K|b}}-{{K|j}}). Once it's placed, use {{k|q}} to examine it, {{k|a}} to assign, and then use {{K|Enter}} to toggle the animal(s) currently inside (animals assigned to the cage will have a green " + " next to them). A dwarf will come along and let the animal out of the cage, after which it can be butchered, moved, et cetera. If all you want to do is [[restraint|tie it up]], you can assign the creature using the restraint's menu. |
If you already have a cage placed somewhere, a faster way to release bought animals is to examine this cage and assign the animals to it. A dwarf will fetch the animals from the stockpile after which you can release them by again examining the cage. | If you already have a cage placed somewhere, a faster way to release bought animals is to examine this cage and assign the animals to it.
