The paper was part of my edit just looking at the 4.5 million attacks in the USA alone (where rabies is essentially gone) to point out that it isn’t just rabies that makes them unsafe. Here you can read about the 25k deaths:

So you used an "estimate" as fact omitting that it's an estimate, from a BBC click-bait article, that offers NO citations. Pretty damn disingenuous, I think you should feel some shame for intentionally lying.

> Dying from an actual dog bite is much more rare. There is no reliable worldwide data, but of the estimated 4.5 million dog bites in the US every year, only about 30 people die on average.
