0008033: Dwarf sparring with unrelated target.
While a wrestler sparring with another dwarf, a "Stray Ram" happens to be nearby. For some reason the wrestler charges at the Ram and then continues sparring with the dwarf.

Have a meeting zone/pasture overlapping an active training area.
This also produces a combat report: "the Ram is sparring."

If this isn't a bug and is just meant to be an "accident" then there should probably be a separate name tag for the combat report, since I'm pretty sure that the Ram isn't intentionally sparring.
No tags attached.

Yeah, the ram was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It's a little weird, but it seems like it a) makes enough sense and b) causes such miniscule problems that it's not a bug. Feel free to post in the Suggestions forum: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 [^]
