Pretty tiger....I am going to call you Tony.......oh he wants to play..........aaahhhhh
And there you have the gist of the entire problem... People making assumptions without ANY burden of proof whatsoever.

ARE there any iron clad proofs of domestication? Is there a legal definition of domestication? Or is it just an arbitrary decision by whoever thinks they have the right to be the expert of the day?

Do you think snakes are non-domesticated or domesticated just because YOU think they should be ?
