This is a straw man argument. It's not about statistical probabilities. It's about exotic species.

But, since you go there, the very presence of non-native injurious animals in, say, your neighbor's home greatly increases the odds of an "accident" involving said animal happening to you, whereas, in the natural course of life one wouldn't necessarily have to be concerned about oh, I dunno, king cobras in Connecticut. One would have to travel to their native habitat to find them.

And bear in mind that when it comes to things like automobiles, guns, dogs etc., typically one has to have a license to possess or operate one, there are leash laws, insurance requirements and so forth.

So, straw man. Logical fallacy. Obfuscation attempt not working on me.
