Yes, domestication include petting, but it's not limited to that. Let me explain it like a chill story:
🔹 What is Domestication?
Domestication is a long-term process where humans tame and breed animals (or plants) over generations so that they adapt to living with us and become useful — like for food, work, or companionship.
🔸 Does It Include Petting?
👉 Petting an animal (like stroking a cat or dog) is more about interaction and bonding.
👉 Domestication is about changing the animal's behavior and genetics over time so that it's calm, friendly, and manageable around humans.
So:
Petting is a part of how we interact with domesticated animals, especially pets.
But domestication itself is much bigger — it's about the entire transformation of wild animals into animals that suit human life.
Examples:
Dog: Fully domesticated, loves petting!
Cow: Domesticated for milk/work, not really a pet, but can be friendly.
Tiger cub: Even if you pet it, it's still a wild animal — domesticated.
Also, keep in mind that domestication is not specific to keeping animals as pets.
Additionally, petting wild animals ≠ domesticating them.
Your point was that animals bites happen frequently. However you failed to show that those animal bites are a result of domestication. Also your statistic about dog bites is irrelevant since this debate concerns 'wild animals', which I provided a definition for.
my opponent failed to argue about petting wild animals, which is my primary argument, so voters read fully and vote for best
