I have some moose men and women running around inside my fortress, and any dwarf that bumps into them will cancel their work. But they don't seem to be attacking my dwarves. I also wonder if they are eating my food stocks, cause one is hanging out at my stockpile.
What can I do about them?
I have some war dogs but not sure how to tell them to attack, nor sure if I will suffer bad consequences if I do.
Edit: Nevermind, just randomly struck down my dwarf. Apparently he didn't even put up a fight 🙁
Edit2: Ah, combat doesn't show up in announcements, but instead in reports. Apparently there has been quite a bit of fighting.

Moose Men and Women, like their Moose kith, are dangerous due to their size, but won't go out of their way to get your dwarves, either. (Unlike the evil, evil Honey Badger)
This is a very literal case of "they're just as afraid of your dwarves as your dwarves are of them".
However, it sounds like your dwarves may have accidentally cornered a Moose Man or several, and, like all cornered creatures, will defend itself vociferously. Since you have several dead dwarves on hand, it's likely that they simply wandered too close for their own good.
