0009722: Dwarf received new job while handling animal to be shorn, cancels cancels second job (Handling dangerous creature)
When a dwarf is in the middle of a shearing job the assignment system will sometimes select them for an other job. The cancellation message comes up but no other disruptions have been noted, the shearing job completes correctly and a different dwarf usually has handled the other job by then.
In short just having some shearing to do is enough, but longer procedure for the guarantee...

Pen a good number of animals to be shorn a long ways from the farmers workshop. Turn on all labors on one dwarf, turn off all labors for all other dwarves. Put shearing on repeat, and create as many other jobs as possible once the dwarf starts shearing.
No tags attached.

I've seen all manner of non animal handling jobs being interrupted by "handling dangerous creature", which probably are caused by an interruption of jobs, as stated. I've encountered interruption spam, however, when a butcher would start to haul trade goods which an animal was due for butchering, so I gave up and disabled trade goods hauling on the butchers.

Veroule made the case that this issue is different enough from 0000184 to not necessarily be a duplicate, so I'm reopening it.
