>>>many people are killed by animals and indeed, were common food for prehistoric carnivores
Evidence? There haven't been many large carnivores living on this planet during the very short space of time that man has been around. Dinosaurs died out at least 60 million years before the earliest recognised form of man existed. Species such as Smilodon (and other so-called sabre-toothed tigers) co-existed for a short while with man, but were almost certainly hunted out of existence by man. Mammoths and mastodons were both vegetarian. So which species are you referring to, Wildwood?
