How exactly do I go about taming animals? Other than placing traps randomly and hoping that the animals walk into them, I can't seem to tame them. Can I place bait in the traps, and if so how do I do that? I still can't figure out how to manually place items such as food.

You can build cages to capture the wild animals. They can get caught by them when walking over them. You can also bait the cage with their dietary items to lure them. You just need to put a stockpile room on the cage and assign the required items.

Once an animal is in the cage, you can assign the capture job to it. There's a chance they will become hostile when doing this, so fair warning.

I'm going to add a hunting/trapping room soon to automate a lot of this stuff.

You are correct! That's currently the only way.
