50 deaths annually from dog bites (5 million bites per year)
Don't even get me started on people killed by people annually. Maybe we should get rid of all the people?
Stupid people will do stupid things and suffer the consequences. There is no way to protect people from themselves 100%.

If there is a thumbtack on the floor, I pick it up. Just because I might never step on it doesn't preclude me from wanting to make things better and safer. There ae lots of ways to protect people from themselves. Not 100%, but one bit at a time.
We can make our environment safer. Takes 1 brain cell to know that's a good thing. Alligators are useless pests. They provide nothing useful to me. I don't care if they wandered into a drainage pond before I lived here. There are 1,500,000 alligators in Florida. And more every year. 100 less won't matter.
You better be a 100% vegetarian. You are a hypocrite if you eat any meat if you value an alligator more than humans.
