- Kon5ole 4y agoSuch comparisons will also indicate that tigers are safer than dogs and guns are safer than cars.
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoHow so? Tigers kills at least a order of magnitude more that dogs, and so do guns kill [+8%] more people that cars - at least in the USA.
- Kon5ole 4y agoDogs killed an estimated 30 000 people in 2022. There are only about 5000 tigers left in the wild.

But the examples are not the point. The point is that things that are relatively harmless but common and handled carelessly (dogs, cars and hydro) easily cause more deaths than something that is very, very dangerous but rare and handled carefully (tigers, guns and nuclear).
