How are people killed by pigs more than sharks?

People are killed by pigs more than sharks primarily due to the sheer number of interactions between humans and pigs. Pigs can be aggressive, especially when they feel threatened or are protecting their young, leading to fatal incidents in agricultural settings or when approached improperly. In contrast, shark attacks are relatively rare, as human encounters with sharks are less frequent and typically occur in open water where sharks do not see humans as prey. Overall, the higher population of domestic pigs and their proximity to humans contribute to more fatal encounters.
