Information on working terriers, dogs, natural history, hunting, and the environment, with occasional political commentary as I see fit. This web log is associated with the Terrierman.com web site.
What happened to horses? I've seen other stats showing that horsing accidents caused far more deaths than dog attacks in the US . . . and far far more injuries. I suspect the definition of 'deadly' is a bit arbitrary.
Yes, horses kill about 100 people a year in the U.S. and cows about the same. Across the world, the numbers are going to be very high for both. Not a comprehensive graphic, clearly. See this for relative threats >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/07/beware-of-cows.html

I have to admit I'm surprised...
I had no idea so many people are killed by wolves. 10! I'd have expected 1 or 2, if that.
Lots of wolf attacks in India, Russia, and Iran. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attacks_on_humans
