I believe the Animal Attacks on humans and the fear they are loosing is a Bible Prophecy..
The Opening of the 4th Seal.
Revelation6:7
When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” 8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.
My wife is always saying that also but I’m not so sure — it’s not that predators just learned how to be predators. It’s the human demographics & geographics that are the main things changing.
