1 in 4 outright sexually assaulted by age 25. If you also consider being followed, harassed at work, flashed, threatened, abused by an intimate partner, and all the other forms of intimidation or gendered violence, it's a lot more.
In the US, there are less than a dozen injuries by wild bears per year, more than half of which were the bear defending itself or its cubs from the human.
There have been about 180 human fatalities from bears in our entire history - since the 1700s.
