I think the quote was more people are killed by donkeys around the world than in airplane crashes in a year, right idea wrong type of accident.
We know they don't go on planes it takes them to long to pass through customs, they kill people on the ground much the same as the plane does when it hits it, if you don't want an answer don't bother posting a question

I think you will find it is commercial aeroplane accidents but for all those laughing - I have been damaged by donkeys twice. Both times as a child on the beach when they kicked me in the back of the ankle - now even 40 years later the skin over my achilles tendons breaks and blisters very easily. They were happy donkeys - not beach rides but donkeys going down to the sea to swim from their fields.
I also know of someone in the Middle East whose donkey stepped on a landmine - the donkey's thigh bone, and other bones, pierced the mans chest and he eventually died of his injuries within a few days. The donkey died at the scene of the accident,
Your BF probably just misheard the statistics.

Yes they are lethal - more dangerous even than crocodiles or hippos. Do not turn your back on a donkey unless you have a death wish. In Portugal, the country with the most traffic accident fatalities per head in Europe, five times more people die from donkey attacks than in car crashes.

Neither one, he probably thought he was telling you the truth. A fibber, no - gullible, yes. Check out www.snopes.com to find out more about this urban legend. And ask him if he thinks Winston Churchill was born in a bathroom at a dance.

I heard a different twist on this - deer are the deadliest animal as they kill so many people each year because of the road accidents they cause.

I don't know but Hippo's and peanuts kill more than alligators and crocodiles also out of the 300 types of mushrooms only five will kill you.
Perhaps it's been cooked and served with peanut and mushroom stuffing while being guarded by an irate Hippo'.
