This comment sent me into a little rabbit hole.
In the US alone, humans kill, on average, 1 cow per second (over 33 million a year). That is including calves.
edit: In the US alone, humans kill, on average 1 shark per 10 seconds (over 3 million a year).

I have been herding cows upwards in the mountainside. I have had a cow slip and fall onto me, luckily only onto my legs before running off. I could easily see how such accidents would kill a lot of people every year.

A cow slipping and falling on you would be one hell of a way to die

Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. If a cow had the chance he'd eat you and everyone you care about.

They wouldn't. They can't eat meat, it would kill them.
That however wouldn't stop a cow from getting their revenge.

It's also worth noting that a profession where you spend every day in close proximity to cows is very common. Meanwhile, a profession that regularly has you in close proximity to sharks is way more niche. Make of this what you want.
Shark milking is one of the most dangerous professions out there. It doesn't surprise me that the industry is under reporting deaths.
