Several thousand of people are killed by dogs each year

They are near the top of the list of human-killing animals

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 5 points 16 hours ago

Misleading. People get rabies from dog bites and die when they are not treated. Cows kill a lot more people directly then dogs.

[–] WhiteRabbit_33@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Huh, didn't think this was true on first glance, but it is if taken worldwide. In the US, bites are still high, but there are very few deaths from them.

Most of the deaths come from rabies in countries that don't have widely available rabies vaccines. This seems like a solvable problem like tuberculosis if greed didn't get in the way.

Human-dog interactions happen billions of times a day, this isn't the gotcha you think it is

[–] quantumcrop@lemmy.today 9 points 1 day ago

The top human killing animal is other humans. Dogs are just chillin.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

People who hate dogs and spread lies about them are the worst.

Weird thing to say ngl

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dogs- that eternal enemy of man!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't kid yourself tomiant. If a dog ever got the chance, he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

You're thinking of cats. Who will eat their family's dead bodies. A thing that dogs will not normally do

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 0 points 3 hours ago

Better than burying it or overcooking it, as far as the cat’s concerned. Wouldn’t put it past cats to politely request a semi-cremation, or temporary burial for the family.

I don't know what this means, but I will NOT eat your corpse. Sorry to disappoint.
