There are one to three bear-related deaths per year in the US. For one, the fear of dying in a plane crash might actually kill you. Eventually Americans returned to the skies — but not all of them, tragically, were alive to do so, because driving long distances is much more dangerous than flying — indeed, because the increased road use may have led to more accidents.

As far as transportation is concerned, by far the riskiest way to go anywhere is to take a motorcycle. Mile-for-mile which is not an entirely fair comparison, as we generally fly further than we bike , motorcycling is more than 3, times more deadly than flying.

Any claim without comparing the total number of people using one mode of transport versus another then compared to deaths is not a relevant statistic.

These latest northern breed crosses are an excellent example of why this practice is so objectionable. If you enjoy the looks of the Spitz dog breeds, there is probably a breed out there that will suit you and match this phenotype.
