I think it’s too overreaching a claim. I actually agree with you as an overall statement but many here would not. Many on the forum here though think that because humans drastically reduce wild animal populations, that may well help animals through reducint overall suffering.
Also it depends how general you are trying to be. I would personally argue that in New Zealand, humans have brought sheep more joy than suffering, through treating their diseases well and ensuring good nutrition. Because most animals are factory farmed and so overall humans bring more suffering than joy to farmed animals. But in places where they are well looked after and not family farmed, the inverse could be troo.
