ELI5: why we cant domesticate wolves or tigers and etc. Even if we raise them from birth?

Domestication goes further than just raising an animal around humans. Wild animals are wild animals. They have instincts. And, more often than not, that instinct of "feeding, fighting, fornicating" has a higher priority than any superficial or parental bond between them and humans. If you want to domesticate a species, you basically need generations and generations of selective breeding --propagating lineages with more docile temperaments-- to get to a point where those instincts are more manageable.

Also, yeah, a lot of these animals are powerhouses and it's generally ill-advised to keep an animal around your kids when an accidental nip or swipe could mean losing half a face.
