Dunno if this will help, but rather than dividing animals into "wild" and
"domesticated", as is our modern mindset, you might find yourself better off
running a continuum from "useful" to "useless". As you can see in this
example, many "wild" animals were in some sense domesticated, whereas many
"domesticated" animals were, in a greater or lesser sense, "wild" or "feral"
as we'd percieve them- pigs would be an excellent example, as would hawks
and other hunting raptors.
