It's been fairly established that domestication predates sedentary civilized lifestyles. This started with domestication of dogs, then horses where they existed. Cats could have been around since humans exist. Domestication of birds appears to be very old as well, even tho I find any caged house animals to be a rather digusting practice.

This current civilization is based on cars, and massive industrial animal exploitation.

I think there's a need to draw a clearer line between the ruthless, inhumane exploitation you got in the industry and scientific research (and now on fucking Youtube, as animal "experiments" vids have been a new fucked up trend lately), and some small-scale farmers or even ranchers whose living depends on building and maintaining a healthy relationship with animals.

A question's also gotta be asked on the issue of domesticating people (i.e. having children, and then students, employees, etc) or how it's better than

Are practices such as beekeeping also animal exploitation or just helping bee life in contexts where bee colonies are endangered by corn & soy monocultures? I know some urban civilized anarchos could go experience rural life a bit more just to see that domestication isn't one single thing regardless the context and intent.
