According to Wiki and cited from 2005 (old, I know, but it kinda proves a point)....
- Approx 30-50 people die in the US each year from dog bites
- Approx 4.5 MILLION people are bitten by dogs in the US yearly
- Estimated between 6,000-13,000 Americans are hospitalized due to do bites each year.
- Avg annual deaths in the US from snake bites, including venomous species = 5
Granted the numbers are estimates and the stats a bit old, I think it paints a pretty clear picture. But dogs are "cute" and accepted by the majority as pets. Snakes are still too misunderstood by the general public. It's sad, but true.
Maybe we should ban dogs? They're apparently pretty dangerous...More dangerous than my vape, just saying....
