Mosquitoes: “those are rookie numbers.”
It’s also worth noting that a profession where you spend every day in close proximity of cows is very common. Meanwhile, a profession that regularly has you in close proximity of sharks is way more niche. Make of this what you want.
Yup! Though it’s worth noting that cows, while beautiful, are not necessarily gentle. They can fuck your shit up.
Also, does this stat separate cows from steers/bulls? It says cows but it feels like it means bovines of all genders.
There are 3 types of lies.

A lie.

A god damn lie.

And statistics.

Shark milking is one of the most dangerous professions out there. It doesn’t surprise me that the industry is under reporting deaths.
Whereas cow fucking is even less accurately reported, and isn’t even a profession. It’s almost inevitable, really, whenever a MAGAt’s left alone with livestock long enough —and the rampant cow rape’s only a fraction of that number, too. 🤦🏼♂️
Just Me, killing 300 a year (͡•_ ͡• )
thats a lot of champagne
humans killing thousands of sharks per year
Vs
humans killing millions of cows per year
Where did you get these numbers? A quick search engine look up is giving me far higher numbers.
100 million sharks are killed by humans each year vs 300 million cows.
This comment sent me into a little rabbit hole.
In the US alone, humans kill, on average, 1 cow per second (over 33 million a year). That is including calves.
edit: In the US alone, humans kill, on average 1 shark per 10 seconds (over 3 million a year).
I imagine the US is not killing a lot of sharks. At least not intentionally (ignoring pollution or accidents.)
There is a bigger market than you think. Shark meat is part of Asian, Caribbean, Latino, and Hawaiian food culture. You can find dozens of different shark products in grocery store, and that’s not including pet food. It can hide under different names like white fish or ocean fish.
So I would guess from high hundreds of thousand to low millions.Dug deeper, it is estimated around 300 to 500 thousands from shark fisheries. But, 2.5 to 5 million from bycatch…Their is also recreational fishing. Which is responsible for 100 to 150 thousands shark killings per year.
So that’s a comfortable 3 to 5 million a year in the US alone…
And coincidentally, there is some scandal happening now about critically endangered shark meat sold under false labels.

Don’t kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow had the chance he’d eat you and everyone you care about.
They wouldn’t. They can’t eat meat, it would kill them.
That however wouldn’t stop a cow from getting their revenge.
They don’t care. It’s not about sustenance. It’s about sending a moossage.
Udder bullshit.

It’s a quote from an episode of the Simpsons. I don’t know who wrote that but I left it verbatim.

Stairs killing 600k a year.
If true, guns would be real jealous
Gave it a google
Falls down stairs cause an average of 12,000 deaths per year in the United States.
That’s actually pretty close to the US intentional homicide by firearm rate, so without factoring in gun suicides stairs are keeping up!
The cows kill count would go up even more if you count air/water pollution and food borne illnesses caused by their manure on produce
Do tell how that works. Are you imagining herds of cows roaming among the lettuce rows?
Here’s an FDA report on a Romain lettuce E. coli outbreak that resulted in 5 deaths. There’s a couple of ways E. coli can get from cow intestines to lettuce: cow manure gets into irrigation canals/streams, and a downstream farm uses that to water their crops; manure used for fertilizer is not properly treated; cows get into farm fields that they shouldn’t be in. Lettuce is particularly susceptible because it is often eaten raw.
Ah! Makes sense. Your reasoning makes far more sense in the former rather than the latter examples. :) Yes, I’m sure livestock gets into vegetable fields now and again, but farmers and ranchers are mostly two different professions.
also, if you live in the right zones lettuce growing season is coming up. homegrown lettuce is ridiculously better than store bought
The shark kill count would go up way more if we started milking them on an industrial scale.
Shark fins are sadly harvested on an industrial scale :(
@[email protected] vs me?
Yes! Kill more!
