I won't be playing knight again any time soon after this one.
The caitiff penalty is too much for me. I'm used to hacking
the s**t out of monsters, but this forces one to always be
ready to draw back. Not to mention sleeping monsters lead
to the same penalty. Leaving an entire zoo intact feels...
wrong.

Kick some stone (or anything else) in the vicinity of the zoo
and the monsters will wake up (so that you'll get no penalty).
(If you consider it bad facing all monsters at once you can
try a kick from some distance so that only the nearest subset
will wake up.)

Other options include (e.g.) to let your steed or pet attack
them and wake them up.

WRT fleeing monsters I usually just ignore that message (and
accept the penalty).

I suppose one of the times you don't ignore it is when you are
standing on a scroll of scare monster. That was what I found.
