Alaska, more folks are injured by moose than brown bears. But facing an angry brown bear, or a mother moose, I would still opt for the moose. But I do question your map.
They make the list. Every year in the U.S. just 700 people are killed by non-human animals, see the map at the top of the article. But for every person killed by an animal wild or domestic, hundreds are killed by humans, counting murder and manslaughter, of course, but also all forms of negligence, whether malicious, ignorant, playful or, very often, simply a gun within reach of a drunk or a child. In the U.S. 30,000 children are killed every year by guns. Handguns in cities, long guns in rural areas. (Not always, but that's the way to bet.)
"The highest rates of firearm deaths among children & teens (ages ~1-19) are found in the Southern states and some Alaska/territory-type states. For example, states such as Louisiana (~17.6 per 100,000), Mississippi (~15.3 per 100,000) and Alabama (~11.9 per 100,000) rank among the highest. By contrast, states such as New York and New Jersey have much lower rates (e.g., ~2–3 per 100,000 in one dataset) among children and teens. Regarding unintentional shootings /by/ children, the states with highest rates include mostly Southern states such as Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina, Alabama."
Marco, Bullshit! Your 30000 "children" are actually 30000 "persons", half of whom are suicides. Out of the remaining 15000, "children" turn out to be around 10000 gang related homicides. The remaining 5000 are the true victims.
Do not come here with your bullshit and expect not to get called on it.
