“In the United States, the CDC estimates that about twenty-two people are killed by cows each year, and of those cow attacks, seventy-five percent were known to be deliberate attacks. One third of the killings were committed by cows that had previously displayed aggressive behavior.”
I grew up in Appalachia and lived in the Caribbean for a while. My friends thought it was funny when I told them I was more afraid of the cows on the island than sharks. Cows will fucking kill you lol
Where is the source though? They refer something without linking to it. (I should add that I did not create above data graph so not sure how accurate it is)
Oh, I know, I’m just joshing you lol. I noticed there’s no sources referenced, but cursory Google research looks like the numbers are relatively accurate. I assume whoever compiled didn’t think to look into cows because people don’t think of cows as being deadly.
And I guess it also depends on the mechanism of death that we’re including in our analysis. Because they include insects that don’t kill directly, but not deer that also don’t kill directly, but rival hippos in the number of deaths they cause each year: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deer%E2%80%93vehicle_collisions
I call shenanigans, no COWS:
