  • A few years back, I would have said that they are trying to uphold the image of democracy. “Vote for Harris, a guy you’ve never heard of or this criminal, your choice” isn’t a good look… sad that we ended up here anyway.

    Probably also trying to avoid the headache of “what happens when a candidate is sent to prison”. That’s either going to be a lot of work for you or someone you know higher up, who isn’t going to like that paperwork, especially such a high profile case.

    I couldn’t find estimates for snakes and scorpions and completely ignored the invertebrates here, but from those options, Tigers kill the most humans yearly per wild individual.

    There are about 5500 Tigers in the wild killing 50 humans yearly, while 115000 Hippos kill 500 humans yearly.

    So Tigers kill 9 humans per thousand individuals, Hippos kill 4, next would be Lions with 2.5 .

    Maybe they are the more deadly than Tigers on a per species basis since there are only 2 species of Hippo while 6 living species of Tigers exist… but then the other kill statistics would get a lot more precise as well. And I wont even try to analyze how often humans interact with specific animal groups.
