On the flip side, every species that allowed itself to be domesticated is now at its highest population levels in all of history. There are more cattle, dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, etc alive today than ever before.

Yes, there is disease that will jump species and that sucks but that's just life, yo. Even with those that died from that, across all specific species in relation to man, every single species had and is still better off for the arrangement. The stories can be told in the sheer numbers alone.
