Well, no, but it might be helpful in case there's a problem with invasion events killing the animals. That was my point, I guess I should have mentioned it. It can also save space if you have limited land area to build on.

why would you ever have "limited land area" ??
do you not expand your base? (remove walls and rebuild)
