SHARKS

For each human attacked by a shark, one million sharks are killed by humans.

More people are attacked by cows than by sharks.

Falling coconuts kill 150 people every year - 10 times the number of people killed by sharks.
(The Week magazine, 2008)

Shark attacks kill fewer than 20 people each year.

As many as 73 million sharks are killed each year worldwide, many of them for their fins - shark-fin soup is a staple at Chinese celebrations and a popular item on Chinese menus.
