    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
