Nooo, most animals would die if just set free! Domestic animals set free are called 'feral' and differentiated from their true wild ancestors. Many still depend on humans to some degree....(stealing food, raiding trash, eating other domestic animals, etc). Which in itself causes them a great threat.
It generally takes a few to several generations for a domestic animal to revert satisfactorily to a more 'wild' state.
If you look at animals such as horses it's very easy to see the physiological differences between domestic and feral and wild. A domestic horse would have significant hoof and tooth problems if let go into the wild. A mustang's hoof is HUGE and hardy compared to a modern domestic horse. A mustang is HUGE itself compared to true wild horses.
The few who did survive, it wouldn't be without a lot of pain and suffering-and death. If a feral animal doesn't starve or get eaten, it will likely be killed due to being a nuisance or being easy prey. Much fewer of it's offspring will survive, if any. Many domestic animals are kept in a place where they ordinarily can't live due to weather, as well. To let them go would be to have them starve (or be eaten by real wild animals) very quickly.
Is it normal to be against domestication of animals?
