Scripted butchering logic

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would butcher many innocent kittens in your name (for leather and lavish
meals of course) if you could add automatic butcher marking by criteria. 
For example, the criteria I want is:

- butcher all non-pet, adult, non-dog animals except for the X youngest
male and Y youngest female of each type.

At the moment I'd be shooting for butchering all but the 1 youngest adult
male of each type and 5 youngest adult female of each type.

Having a dwarf-style view where it groups by animal type and gender and
lets me mark them manually would be an acceptable first step.  Dwarf
Fortresses' animal screen makes it a chore to manage breeding stock population.

(Bonus points for being able to figure out if an animal is pregnant and 
skipping them
for butchering, but I don't know of any way to determine that.)

It's a good idea, but this feature will have to come later on. I really want to 
nail 
the labor management experience before moving on to other tasks.

Please for the love of all things holy implement animal control. The ability to 
sort and butcher animals would be amazing. I am going insane trying to manage 
the animal population in my fort; it's ballooned up to 388! I would give 
anything within my power to see this feature added to Therapist and I humbly 
beg that it be given a higher priority. I don't care about automating butchery; 
I just want to be able to sort the animals, view their basic attributes, and 
mark them to be butchered.

Please. Help.

Just a simple animal viewer with a butcher toggle would definitely help to make 
a lot of things easier
