The response I've heard for that one is that domesticated animals are dependent on us because we've bred their survival capabilities out of them. People originally just captured wild animals and put a fence around them. Selectively breeding only the more docile ones has turned them into something they wouldn't have been without our interference. To me that part makes sense, but the present reality is still what it is, and what you're saying is still true.
