Best Answer

The answer is simple. A wild animal belongs in the wild away from people. Domestic animals usually live with people. Although for an animal to be considered 'domestic' it has to have been in captivity for a long time. And I mean like 100s of years.
Wild animals are not mastered by any human; they may leave in wilderness and try to avoid the human.
