Butchering

Butchering is performed automatically at a butcher's shop, but only if there is an animal specified to be butchered or a suitable carcass on a stockpile somewhere, whether created by hunting or by battle.
Butchering of livestock is done by using z, enter on the Animals tab, and then hitting b to mark an animal for slaughter. Their status will say "Ready for slaughter." Animals taken as pets by someone cannot be slaughtered, which poses a problem for reducing the number of animals, or trying to get food.
