You are absolutely right. But that logic says that dogs should not exist, because they cannot be reasonably managed. --For example; dog may bite at the postman. => cannot have a dog. A dog may, when out for a walk, lunge at another passing kid. => cannot have a dog.

The idea, with domestic animals, is that they bring us more joy/security than they bring risk. ...if we control them properly. (just like a car. ...which, btw, kills Thousands of people each month)
