You make a fantastic argument about the horses. I have also heard the numbers before about livestock related deaths every year. I can't remember them but I am sure horse deaths statistics are probably high enough that it'd be safe to say more deaths are attributed to horses each year than to snake bites in the US for the past twenty years combined. According to this website

http://www.rexano.org/Statistics/venomous_captive_snake_fatality.pdf
between the years of 1999 and 2005 Only 44 total fatalities from snake bites and this website here

http://journals.lww.com/smajournalonline/Fulltext/2004/07000/Reptile_Envenomation_20_year_Mortality_as_Reported.6.aspx

Claim that between 1979 and 1998 pretty much all results they post aproximately 100 deaths by snake bites within that time span. Unless someone can post accurate data on proposed estimated horse related deaths each year. I am not afraid to guess they average higher than that.
