Disagreements on "Organism is wild" and "Location is accurate"

A quote from iNaturalist staff member @tiwane concerning escaped pets — “I would definitely mark the organism as wild. The wild/captive attribute relates to the individual organism, not the species. Here are iNat’s definitions of the two terms: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#captive”

Some IDers choose to mark escaped pets as Captive, however by iNat’s definition, they are Wild organisms.
