@Sheril The idea that mosquitoes are more deadly than humans is just bizarre. I mean, annual road traffic deaths alone are more than 1.3 million. Add to that a quarter of million gun-related deaths, 100K deaths from war (likely vastly under-counted), and that's even before we get into questions of counting death from human-caused climate change, environmental destruction, pollution, drug policy, homelessness, etc.

@krutor @Sheril I think they just used the number for global annual homicides. Which is unfair, because for death caused by animals, the numbers represent (mostly) "unintentional killing". So you have to count all the "unintentional" death that humans cause too.
