Do those "Steps to Reproduce" actually work?

TBH I'm not sure. I felt obligated to suggest a way to reproduce the bug without just saying "Hope that goblins spring from ambush and wander near some wild animals" :P.

I see no reason why it shouldn't, though. To clarify, that should be "Catch wild animals using Cage Traps, build cages in entrance, and link cages to a lever".

Wild animals and critters seem to ignore a lot, in bug 0007369 they are ignoring civilian dwarves.
