Butchering them is often a waste of time.
+
While they aren't hard to capture with some bait food surrounded by traps, they have a very short lifespan that forces micromanagement to keep breeding pairs going, and their meager butchery products are not worth the effort when there are much better animals lurking in the caverns.

A huge rodent found underground.

Not to be confused with the even bigger giant rat.

Large rats are cavern-dwelling rodents that are not very dangerous but surprisingly quick. If one manages to sneak into your fortress, it will attempt to steal your food and booze. Fresh recruits may have a hard time catching these pests if they have room to run.

While they aren't hard to capture with some bait food surrounded by traps, they have a very short lifespan that forces micromanagement to keep breeding pairs going, and their meager butchery products are not worth the effort when there are much better animals lurking in the caverns.
