YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD THERE.
Domesticated and tamed are two different things. You can tame an individual animal, but to domesticate it requires many generations. It has been a few hundred years since humans have domesticated an animal. For the life of me I can't remember the most recently domesticated animal, but by definition, even a dog crossed with a wolf is not a domestic animal.
I read a really interesting article about all this, and I am going to look for it. I think you would really enjoy it. Has some facts in it that are really suprising. (even the real definition of "domestic animal" was a bit of a suprise)
Off to search, hope to share some cool stuff.....
