What is the point of existence of mosquitoes? Why not full extermination? I don't even think they have natural predators, nature would not be affected.

that number does seem high, i guess it's worldwide?? I worked insurance claims and dog bites were scary. sooo many cases of kids being bitten on the hands, legs, face, some pretty bad stuff. People don't talk about it but some say "there are two kinds of dog; those that have bitten and those that ...

If that is worldwide then I would believe it. There are a lot of dogs and a lot of humans interacting every day.

Bro, they are basically wolves, so yeah.

Depends on the breed of dog

That’s why I only have pet snails… oh, shit.

82 deaths by dogs per day around the world seems high.. but there are some powerful breeds out there

It's probably just because dogs more closely live in people. I miss in comparison human.

Man’s best friend are not dangerous…shitty humans that don’t know how to handle dogs are dangerous. There are breeds that are inherently more aggressive than others but responsible dog owners understand this and do not let accidents happen. In other words, if you own a pit bull and aren’t ...

Probably in 3rd world countries where they roam free in the streets.

If this is global, a lot of those deaths likely come from diseases transmitted by dogs like rabies, and from feral dogs attacking children. Giant aggressive pet dogs mauling people is likely a very small percentage of that statistic.

Why don't we eradicate mosquitoes?

As a dog owner, I think that most accidents are not caused by the dog itself. Most happen because of dogs that have a high stress level due to their owner. Of course, there are breeds that are more easily stressed than others, but dogs that are dangerous on their own are relatively rare.

The sheer number of people living with dogs skews the results. Imagine if we all kept mosquitos as pets…

why is no one talking about freshwater snails 🐌??!!

true, dogs are dangerous heartbreakers. once you let them in, you're lost forever.

It’s the dogs not the owners #unpopularopinion

They kill a lot of kids - especially dogs like pitbulls etc... I was mauled and almost killed by a doberman/german shepherd when I was a kid.

Further research says rabies is the direct link especially in Asia which calls all of that into question. So, it would appear that it’s the transmission from a bite and not actually being mauled to death. If that’s true, then it calls all those figures into question.
