I am not sure in what way you are asking. But, I'll give it a go anyway.
People affect animals by placing onto them expectations, demands of behavior, etc. The best example of this would be to study feral dogs and cats. They have none of the human neuroses that many of our domesticated pets have, which they acquired by living, watching, and taking on some of our own behaviors. Like the dogs that have separation anxiety, bad tempers, jealously, etc. You don't see any of those types of behaviors in dogs that have not been exposed to human contact. Dog and cats are in their truest form when feral. On the other side of the coin, domestic animals also learn positive behaviors as well. But we humans really do a number on these wonderful little creatures. But for those of us who love them, and they us, there is no other way to live.

We affect most of them terriibly..we destroy their homes for money..We not only eat them but give them a tortured and meaniless life. Even pets, not fed, abused, tested. Its not fair..It's not right..
Luckily some people take care of their pets like they should
I'm thankfull for that!

well...if you are talking about the animals in all the world's oceans we affect them to the point where they will all be gone in 40 years.

people often control which animals breed and which do not.. we select those with genetics we find appealing or hunt those whose genetics we find appealing - changing evolution though our own actions
we destroy habitat and force some animals to serve us while eating others.. or using them for fur or what have you...
