The animal column. The place where all of your pets are listed. It has many different options, such as zoning and master-selecting. The latter is what I am going to be talking about:

When a mechanoid raid comes, and you have a very good shot on the front line, it can be tricky when your equally important animals follow him/her around, getting mowed down by the miniguns and charge blasters. This can be combated by removing the animals masters and putting them into a room, like a bunker. The annoying part is this: You have to go down the long list of animals, constantly clicking the small buttons over and over again to set EACH ONE to stay in the zone, as animal zones are overruled by drafting of their masters. If there was an option such as 'Assign all obedient animals to...', then have a choice of colonists including the 'none' option. Or, if you want certain animals to go into battle, a quick, timetable-like menu with which you can easily drag-select the colonist you want to be the animal's masters, again including the 'none' option. Ideas?
Only in RimWorld is the phrase "31 Heavily-Armed Siegers are currently bombing your base" preferable to "50 manhunting squirrels are attacking your colony"
