Subject: dangerous

Question
Is it true that numerous deaths are caused each year by mules and donkeys.

Answer
I have no statistics in regard to your question.  I'm sure there a few.  I've heard of two.  Neither was caused by the mule or donkey, but the negligence of the handler.  

If you are implying that mules and donkeys are more dangerous than any other equine, I'd have to disagree.  The probability of being hurt by one is directly proportional to the handler's lack of expertese in doing so.
