A large percentage of the total US population is in the presence of a dog on a daily basis. Out of that, there were 33 deaths in a year? That is what you call extremely safe.

To compare the two for danger, you compare death rate per exposure. All that let’s you know is the obvious, big cats are dangerous and dogs are not.

I’m not disputing big cats are dangerous.

But not all attacks by dogs are reported. We had two deaths caused by pit bulls in my town last year, both children. Neither are on that list.

Dogs are natural predators. How they behave around people has a lot to do with how they are raised and what care breeders take in choosing temperaments. I have two dogs, a Springer Spaniel and a Golden Retriever, and neither are emotionally unstable.
