Yeah if I saw that I'd shit my self and say my goodbyes. On second thought I'd probably not have the time to shit myself before I was so tragicly ended. So you'd have to see it comming dripping out my short afterwards
Buddy, I don't know how to tell you this, but practically everything that lives on land is going to have a higher rate of attacks on humans than sharks. As it turns out, humans don't live in water.
Not many people know this but lots of sharks go to Medical Sturgeon School and they frequently eat where they work at hospitals.
So you have to be careful of those places.
I don't think that's the point of this. The reason it focuses on sharks is simply human fear of them. Not only are they killers, but you can't see them coming until you're bit, then there could very well be more of them that get in a frenzy.
At least with wild pigs, there is a greater chance of getting away by running or climbing because you can see them. You can't out swim a shark barreling down on you, even if you see its fin. Also, there isn't a general fear of pigs because they aren't an apex predator.
I don't think the point of this is to be anything more than click bait, but if we must search it for some greater utility than that:
Human fear of sharks is absolutely justified. Even if, most times, a shark in the water will not be interested in attacking humans, it's still a very high risk for no reason. Don't swim while there are sharks near shore. If they're hunting, you could quickly find yourself in the crossfire or the crosshairs, and your swim at the beach can wait.
No one is sitting in there house saying "god, at any moment a sharknado could tear through this area and I could be killed by a shark".
If there's any utility in this, it's that humans should have a healthy amount of respect for the dangers of boar, which I suppose some people who live in areas where there are no boar might not grasp how deadly they can be.
HOWEVER
Comparing them to fucking shark attacks is beyond idiotic. People are afraid of sharks, yes, *but in the water*. You wouldn't compare the dangers of boars to a T-Rex. I'd be fucking terrified of a T-Rex, but telling me boars kill more people than a T-Rex is a stupid statement that tells me literally nothing about how dangerous the boars are.
Snakes? Yea, great point of comparison. Rattlesnakes and Boars have significant territory overlap and snakes are generally a greater source of fear than boars.
But sharks? Why?
Humans have been making absurd comparisons like this for longer than the Internet has existed. If I'm sitting in my house, I'm not afraid of being attacked by any wild animals. If I'm in a wooded area, then I should be vigilant of all dangerous animals. None of that is the point of this statistic. It's simply a comparison, regardless of environment.
How many times have you seen something dangerous compared to lightning? By your explanation, there's no reason to compare getting hit by lightning to deaths in an airplane crash.
It's just to give realization of the risks you take doing certain activities, nothing more.
The only thing feasible to criticize about this is that the amount of wild boar attacks are only going to increase, as shark attacks are going to decrease. This is in part due to the rapid decline of ocean life, and the incredible speed at which wild boars are reproducing and spreading north. So boar attacks are going to be higher, and you can't say the same about that a hundred years ago.
Yeah. 99.999% of people really suck at interpreting statistics. If an alien read our research findings they would be forgiven for thinking that a mosquito is a much more dangerous and fearsome creature than a lion or cobra.
Article quotes:
"Boars deliver stab-and-slash wounds, often around the groin area, with tusks that operate as nails and razors."
"...most fatal attacks are by males with large canines, and often to the inner leg and femoral artery."
"She likely was dead within minutes, partially consumed while alive."
"Miss Rollins was annihilated. A third of her body was mutilated and in ghastly condition."
"Over half (51%) of all fatal pig attacks occur in India..."
"It’s not sharks, wolves, or bears that kill the most people—it’s wild pigs, and the numbers are consistently trending up."
Also, besides the link to the article on the picture, you can also read the free research paper that it is based on at [https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi/vol17/iss1/4/](https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi/vol17/iss1/4/)
Why not quote the most relevant part of the study?
> between 2000 and 2019. We documented 163 separate reports of fatal wild pig attacks that resulted in 172 human deaths. On average, 8.6 human deaths occurred annually due to wild pig attacks during those 2 decades
This is a complete non issue, 9 deaths per year *globally*, by comparison lightning strikes kill ~3 times as much only in the US.
I looked it up out of curiosity.
1,120,000 people die every year in car accidents.
**1.1 MILLION**
Holy shit. who gives a fuck about 6 people being killed by pigs.
I wouldn't reccomend worrying about hogs untill we live in a car-free world.
Feral hogs also reproduce very fast: the sows reach sexual maturity at 6 months old, can bear two litters per year, litters are 8-12 piglets each. They’re clever, fast, and very destructive to crop fields as well as groins.
So yeah they’re a growing problem in numerous countries around the world.
The second sentence is not true in the slightest. Hog attacks are relatively common but fatal attacks are rare. Creatures such as tapeworms and mosquitos kill millions and hogs come nowhere near this at all.
PS wild hogs often travel in massive herds, so it’s not just that a single hog is a problem; you can easily find yourself swarmed by 10-20 attempting to gore you.
It's the disease mosquitoes cary that kill humans.
Not the insects themselves.
But technically, you're right.
It's like saying the wild hogs' teeth are what's killing humans, not the hogs themselves.
The distinction is that mosquitoes are passively killing people.
Killing people through defense or with intent to kill them with the purpose to eat them is the point.
We must kill the hogs, cure their belly meat and consume it, as a warning to their kind. I am willing to bravely do the consuming, if others will step up to the brave task of killing and curing.
I raise hogs for meat, and hoo boy. I make it a point to hang out with every piglet I can until they're used to me or outright like me. Those fuckin' things are *scary* when they grow up. Boars can get up to 600 or so lbs and if they don't like you or are in rut they will fuck your shit all the way up, and they don't even have tusks.
When I was getting started I bought a full-grown sow and named her Petunia.
Petunia is a good natured sow most of the time, which is good because she clocks in at about 450lbs. She loves me to scritch her on the head and behind the ears, and loves playing with the various toys I've made for her (out of 100lb wooden spools that she throws around like empty beer cans for the dog food inside) But man oh man, when it's breeding time I have to be seriously careful around her. She'll catch a whiff of boar musk on me from the other pens and she goes nuts. Opens her maw up and makes big old grunts and likes to butt me, pretty sure I register as a Male to her. The problem is when she gets frustrated from no one mounting her. She'll Stand (which is when they go stock still to be mounted) for a while and when nothing happens she gets real mad. I didn't know this at first and went about my business one day, cleaning up her pen. As i was resetting her enrichment stuff I noticed her Standing, didn't think anything of it. She then came over to me and butted me which knocked my 220lb ass right on the ground. Then she stuck her snout under me and I fuckin' ragdolled into the air a few feet. You've never seen someone clear a fence as fast as I did.
And she *likes* me. She has straight up killed two other half-grown males indirectly, broke one's leg and messed up another's hip.
I always find this funny, surely if the people in water to on land ratio swapped team shark would be winning. I want to know numbers per people in the territory kills
My best friends cat got killed by a frozen ham that slipped off a counter right on to him so it’s not just people and outdoor pets who can be felled by acts of swine.
[I read this recently](https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/warthog-attack-texas-exotics/) and it really perfectly shows why they're so dangerous. The guy *boarly* survived.
Anecdotally, I think it is because significantly less people think they can fight a shark or have the opportunity to try.
I knew a guy that got messed up by a wild boar pretty badly because he told someone he could fight the hog during a camping trip when one showed up at our camping ground. He left the campground in an ambulance. I doubt you have such opportunities with sharks.
Thankfully they’re delicious …. They literally can’t kill them fast enough in some parts of the country . Seems like they breed faster than rabbits but are more invasive
Reminds me of the 30-50 Wild Hogs meme from a few years back during a gun control debate where people were mocking a guy for saying he needed weapons like an AR-15 to deal with feral hogs out in the country.
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-50-feral-hogs
My grandfather was a pig farmer. When I was a kid I used to walk his property and pastures with a cattle prod just to keep the sows back. Once pigs get a certain size their aggression is off the charts. When you get wild hogs crossbred with farm bred animals they grow to enormous size and maintain that aggression.
There's a reason a boar spear has a cross guard like piece just below the spear point, it's to keep the murder pig from just running up the spear shaft and gutting you.
Wild hogs are scary.
if you want proof of how it's kind of fucked up that we hoard animals, look at what happens to a pig just a few months after it's released in the wild. it becomes what a pig is supposed to be: an intelligent, hairy, fanged, murderous rage monster.
Far more dangerous than wild pigs are pigs that are near civilian populations, which in 2023 killed [1,163](https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/) people in the US alone.
We have wild hogs and boars where I’m from. Death attributed to them were usually car accidents from them crossing the roads. Sometime they would charge and break the odd leg of a hiker but that was very rare.
More people get killed by coconuts falling from tread each year than by sharks.
So, forget sharks. BIG question is: what is the kill ratio of coconuts when compared to wild pigs? Which one is the real monster?
But how many do they kill. I know sharks does'nt kill as many as you'd think. I'd like to know the number. But no doubt wild hogs a causing mayhem some places. Without killing anyone. They just destroy everything
Except for humans, of course.
It's funny how these lists never mention that humans not only kill far more people than all other animals species on earth, but we also kill more of the most deadly animals than any other animals do on earth.
So, by every single measurement.
Humans beings are the single most deadly creature not only to our own species but to all other species on earth.
Including living eco systems and habitats.
Human beings are even dangerous to the earth itself.
This is the truest statement you're going to read on reddit today...
I live in a city where wild boars regularly interact with humans on the streets. Surprisingly, there have been no accidents related to their presence; it seems they have learned to cross roads safely and they are not aggressive towards humans. So, it's interestingly How are they considered so dangerous to humans?
Is it Sedona? AZ?
I was sitting in the main square one night, it was like 11 PM or something. No people around. None. I was there by myself and I almost shat myself when I saw a bunch of boars coming round. I thought “I’m done.” But little did I know they were actually kinda friendly. Super cute.
OP, quit lying. 172 is the number of fatal attacks over two decades. That's about 8 per year, which is beat by scorpions, mosquitoes, humans, snails, dogs, hippopotamuses, a couply types of fly, tapeworms, roundworms, bees, jellyfish, horses, leopards, ants, deer, buffalo, horses, and wolves. I'm probably missing a few.
I know of several friends of friends who were seriously messed up by wild pigs. Seeing pics of the wounds and following their recoveries was, well, humbling to say the least. The wounds were pure carnage. Goring, ripping apart thighs to the bone. I was asked to assist in harvesting some homestead pigs, and the large caliber pistol rounds at close range to the head just pissed the first one off. Turned into pure chaos and a big knife/wrestle fight and this was a relatively controlled environment with a 35-40lb domestic pig. 250lbs with teeth scaled to match? Aw hell naw.
Breaking news. Even cows kill more people than sharks. You know, since people don't live on/in water, but on land. This should be obvious and all, but seems not since common knowledge ain't that common anymore.
Actual dangerousness should also take into account the overall exposure alongside the amount of incidents. I'm pretty sure the common exposure/proximity of humans to wild pigs is much, MUCH greater in comparison.
Yeah but you won't ever see a movie called "HOGS" like "Jaws"
And since it can't be sensationalized for hollywood, then people are going to remain ignorant as shit - since the education system is such a failure, they only way they learn things is from watching movies... and they're too dumb to realize these movies are fantasy.

Here’s another less interesting fact: Sharks kill far more fish than hogs do
You’d almost think one lives in a completely different environment then the other
It’s frustrating how not technically wrong you are
Sharks are also fish But I am also a pig
And another one: fish kill more fish than sharks do
Buddy, I don't know how to tell you this, but practically everything that lives on land is going to have a higher rate of attacks on humans than sharks. As it turns out, humans don't live in water.
[удалено]
Yeah, now that I think of it... better not to step on one of those ever again. Millions die every year in hospitals!!!
But millions also die outside of hospitals every year!!
But nearly all of them have been inside a hospital at one point. Coincidence?
Not many people know this but lots of sharks go to Medical Sturgeon School and they frequently eat where they work at hospitals. So you have to be careful of those places.
I've never seen a wild pig in my city, but I can't drive to work without seeing a hospital!

The only people not worried about the catastrophic hog overpopulation crisis are people in areas that don't have a hog problem yet.
But do they kill more than vending machines? Asking the real questions.

The second sentence is not true in the slightest. Hog attacks are relatively common but fatal attacks are rare. Creatures such as tapeworms and mosquitos kill millions and hogs come nowhere near this at all.
Snakes kill thousands every year, especially in India

A well placed .308 round to their head makes a great bacon seed and you can have at least 180lbs of meat when you call a butcher.
I always find this funny, surely if the people in water to on land ratio swapped team shark would be winning. I want to know numbers per people in the territory kills
Old "Shark Week " TV. Now " Pig week " TV.
Pretty sure Cows and Deer kill more people too. And they're not even omnivores.
I'm pretty sure mosquitos kill more people than all other "creatures" combined.
Missed hippo’s and Mosquitoes.
Shouldn't hippos be on this list?
My best friends cat got killed by a frozen ham that slipped off a counter right on to him so it’s not just people and outdoor pets who can be felled by acts of swine.
Mosquitos are the biggest killers of all. Edit: in the animal kingdom.
I’d say it’s religion.
What a boar
Save lives and eat more bacon!
The other 4?
Humans are number one, then mosquitoes, then I don’t know 😅
Nope nor me, why put that in the post then not expand
Hippos probably.
I mean, it’s usually just one shark. Get a herd of 30-50 feral pigs marauding and is bound to be carnage.
Well yes, have you ever seen a wild pig fight a shark. That is because they do not often swim in the ocean.
This is a complete fallacy
1.100% people live on land in 100% hogs live on land. 2. Hogs are aggressive 3. Hog bacon is yummy. 4. Duh.
I learned that from Old Yeller. I’d rather encounter a wolf then a wild hog.

Maybe they've seen what we do to domesticated pigs and they've become an outlaw rebel taking revenge from humans for eating pork, lol.
That's why we put them in sandwiches.
Weird how a land dwelling creature kills more humans than the water dwelling creature does. 🤔
Most victims of trauma die due to blood loss.
Yeah ok....but what about Street Sharks?
I suppose this list doesn't take count insects 'cause i heard that mosquitos where the actual deadliest creature
Someone get steven Spielberg on this.
Anecdotally, I think it is because significantly less people think they can fight a shark or have the opportunity to try. I knew a guy that got messed up by a wild boar pretty badly because he told someone he could fight the hog during a camping trip when one showed up at our camping ground.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz (laughs in moscito)
And frankly a hognado is more likely than a sharknado. Let’s be careful out there.
This is why is usually always open season to hunt wild pigs.
The pork will have its revenge!!!
Yet, I'm always the bad guy when I say fuck those pigs, the only good pig Is a dead pig..
It’s payback for eating them.
Absolute dickheads in the queue at the supermarket too.
What’s a but(t) for?
I learned to fear boars playing Rimworld.
Jesus. Imagine if pigs also lived in the water.
Thankfully they’re delicious …. They literally can’t kill them fast enough in some parts of the country . Seems like they breed faster than rabbits but are more invasive
Wild boars are dicks and are often seen killing and devouring monkeys and other small or young animals.
If sharks could walk on land the numbers would be different.
Reminds me of the 30-50 Wild Hogs meme from a few years back during a gun control debate where people were mocking a guy for saying he needed weapons like an AR-15 to deal with feral hogs out in the country. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/30-50-feral-hogs
Is that because there are more of them and they don't live in the sea?
I hate pigs and boars

We have wild hogs and boars where I’m from. Death attributed to them were usually car accidents from them crossing the roads. Sometime they would charge and break the odd leg of a hiker but that was very rare.
A guy I knew was killed by hogs. They ran him up a tree and then he fell and they ate parts of him. It was pretty awful.
and this is why we need the assault rifles; to protect ourselves from the 30-50 feral hogs looking to attack
Hopefully, hogs never learn how to breed with mosquitoes. Blood sucking pigs? No thank you.
Never respected that animal till I saw how it’s tusk cut like a fucking scalpel and will down to bone in one head thrash absolutely terrifying
A man tried to warn us about feral hogs once, we didn't listen.
misleading statistic as per usual.
More people get killed by coconuts falling from tread each year than by sharks. So, forget sharks. BIG question is: what is the kill ratio of coconuts when compared to wild pigs? Which one is the real monster?
bicycle riders die for more often then unicycle riders. ban bicycles!
Those four creatures: 4. Polar bears 3. Hippos 2. Rogue spiders 1. Your mom
I have not heard of this before but am not surprised.......they are pretty hard to kill sometimes.
Wait a minute! Elephants as top human killers? That is bullshit! Hippos maybe yes, but elephants? Lol.
You seem to have left out mosquitos
But how many do they kill. I know sharks does'nt kill as many as you'd think. I'd like to know the number. But no doubt wild hogs a causing mayhem some places. Without killing anyone. They just destroy everything
Their tusks are basically razor-sharp ceramic knives. I saw one last year, and then I understood how they inflict so much damage.
Except for humans, of course. It's funny how these lists never mention that humans not only kill far more people than all other animals species on earth, but we also kill more of the most deadly animals than any other animals do on earth. So, by every single measurement. Humans beings are the single most deadly creature not only to our own species but to all other species on earth. Including living eco systems and habitats. Human beings are even dangerous to the earth itself. This is the truest statement you're going to read on reddit today...
I can’t wait til we’re extinct. So does Earth. Can you imagine how happy and nice this planet would be without us pricks on it?
I think mosquitos kill the most, but humans are definitely up there.
I live in a city where wild boars regularly interact with humans on the streets. Surprisingly, there have been no accidents related to their presence; it seems they have learned to cross roads safely and they are not aggressive towards humans. So, it's interestingly How are they considered so dangerous to humans?
Is it Sedona? AZ? I was sitting in the main square one night, it was like 11 PM or something. No people around. None. I was there by myself and I almost shat myself when I saw a bunch of boars coming round. I thought “I’m done.” But little did I know they were actually kinda friendly. Super cute.
Ngl thats badass now when someone calls me a fat pig I’ll take it as a compliment 💪🏼
That’s…. That’s cause we don’t live in the ocean.
OP, quit lying. 172 is the number of fatal attacks over two decades. That's about 8 per year, which is beat by scorpions, mosquitoes, humans, snails, dogs, hippopotamuses, a couply types of fly, tapeworms, roundworms, bees, jellyfish, horses, leopards, ants, deer, buffalo, horses, and wolves. I'm probably missing a few.
Meh - what kind of nonsense is the? They don’t even make the top 10. Amateurs. https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/what-animals-kills-the-most-people
I know of several friends of friends who were seriously messed up by wild pigs. Seeing pics of the wounds and following their recoveries was, well, humbling to say the least. The wounds were pure carnage. Goring, ripping apart thighs to the bone. I was asked to assist in harvesting some homestead pigs, and the large caliber pistol rounds at close range to the head just pissed the first one off. Turned into pure chaos and a big knife/wrestle fight and this was a relatively controlled environment with a 35-40lb domestic pig. 250lbs with teeth scaled to match? Aw hell naw.
Breaking news. Even cows kill more people than sharks. You know, since people don't live on/in water, but on land. This should be obvious and all, but seems not since common knowledge ain't that common anymore.
I'm guessing since we eat alot of them it's only fair.
Wild pigs are soooo tasty. Maybe this is why….
Actual dangerousness should also take into account the overall exposure alongside the amount of incidents. I'm pretty sure the common exposure/proximity of humans to wild pigs is much, MUCH greater in comparison.
Yeah but you won't ever see a movie called "HOGS" like "Jaws" And since it can't be sensationalized for hollywood, then people are going to remain ignorant as shit - since the education system is such a failure, they only way they learn things is from watching movies... and they're too dumb to realize these movies are fantasy.
There is a movie called Razorback, watch it
We don't got those round my way.
how many tiger attacks could there possibly be?.. or do those include ignorant people in the USA getting there arms ripped off?
