What are domestic animals?
Domestic animals are once-wild animals that have been captured for many years and conditioned to adapt to different living conditions in the farm or households. Mainly, they are captured for economic reasons. Pets are domestic animals, but they were animals that were originally captured for companionship and not for economic reasons. Pets stay with humans in the household most of the time. Other domestic animals, on the other hand, seldom stay in the households. Both pets and domestic animals depend on humans for survival.
