You can check across Canada if you want.

Pretty specific for hyperbole. Still way wrong.

Do these include all vehicles? I ask because if motorcycles are included, they would, I think, make up most to all of the fatalities. Bike/deer and in Texas, bike/pig collisions have a non-trivial fatality rate. I knew of a fellow who was one of the leading authorities in the US on M/C safety who was killed several years ago by a mule deer in West Texas.

Yes they include all vehicles. Not as many bikes up here though. Especially when the wildlife are the most active and on the move which is usually early spring and late fall so I doubt that many were involved.
