Sharks. Sharks kill most people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: It is NOT sharks.

Humans also suffer fatal snake bites every year. Anfd if you include killing by spreading disease, you'd have to include the mosquito, which infects humans with malaria, killing thousands.

Has anyone ever kiled an alligator?
It legal to kill sharks, but this depends on the species and location.Some species are endangered and some areas(eg national marine areas) are protected.Other than that if you catch it you can kill it.Just remember that sharks are very important to the food chain. Also they are being over harvested in many areas and are close to extinction. Not to mention sharks are not even a threat to humans. Only 5 humans die each year by shark attack, whereas every year humans kill about 2 000 000 sharks. Compare that to starvation: 1 million people die by starvation each year. Sharks also typically don't attack humans. They fear US not the other way around. They are very picky eaters and will only eat seals and fish (unless they are starving but this is unlikely as where sharks live fish are plentiful)It is highly recommended to not kill sharks.
Do dolphins kill the same amount of people as sharks?
Killer whales are not considered dangerous to humans and do not prey on humans. There are accounts of killer whales turning on their keepers in Sea-world etc but these 'attacks' are extremely rare and the killer whale's in these instances did not attack the humans for food, more likely the attacks were due to frustration at being kept in captivity. Killer whales are quite capable of attacking and killing humans but choose not to, we are simply not on the menu. Sharks on the other hand are less fussy about which animals they prey on and if the shark is big enough and of the predatory variety then humans can be very much on the menu. Great whites, Bull sharks, Tiger sharks and Mako sharks kill between 3 and 4 people every year. When you compare this number to crocodiles who kill around 3000 people a year or tigers who kill hundreds of people a year it is quite clear that sharks have an undeserved reputation and the movie Jaws has a great deal to do with this.
