https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_attack

''Animal attacks are a cause of human injuries and fatalities worldwide. Up to five million people in the U.S. are attacked by cats and dogs each year. The frequency of animal attacks varies with geographical location. In the United States, a person is more likely to be killed by a domesticated dog than they are to die from being hit by lightning according to the National Safety Council.''

Up to three fourths of dog bites happen to those younger than 20 years-old.

- How I would edit this would be to make it not as harming or worrying as it sounds. For instance, my editing would be, ''Due to location and circumstance animal attacks are a cause of human injuries and death worldwide. Around five million people in the United States are bitten each year due to playing to rough or the animal feeling threatened. It is statistically proven that a person is more likely to be killed by a dog than by being struck by lighting, although it is still a 1 in about 112,450 chance for a person to be killed by a domestic animal.''

The next sentence that I pasted I would simply add onto due to that it is to broad of a age range. For instance I would say that, Most bites that occur happen to younger children who do not understand the concept of approaching an animal calmly and swiftly and making sure to not make it feel threatened.
