Summary0007554: Crowded animals are too docile
DescriptionCompared to v34.11, overcrowded animals are very docile. Not sure if this is a bug or a change to something like the GROUNDED_ANIMAL_ANGER ticker.
Steps To ReproduceEmbark (40.04)
Create a one tile room (wood is fastest) with a door.
In this one tile, create a Pen/Pasture zone and a burrow.
Pasture all animals in this zone.
Create a civilian alarm for this burrow, activate it.
All animals and dwarves should now be on a single tile.
Wait for the dwarves to die. Note the lack of animal aggression.

v34.11
Same. Animal aggression begins inside the first month.
Additional InformationI've attempted to scale test this in a mature fort. 120+ dwarves, 17 dogs, 5+ cats, and a handful of misc birds all will happily stand in the same tile until the dwarves die of hunger/thirst.

Update: Doesn't appear to be time related either. Left the dogs in an enclosed 1x1 pasture for a year. No fighting.

Retested on 40.10 embark, no change. Possibly intentional?
