The way I read his post, it is his parents and girlfriend who think that. It is kind of weird to worry about those particular things as compared to being hit by a car, but not all that uncommon. I know a number of folks that said that was their family's main worries.
That said... I agree completely that murder minded people and animals are WAY down on the list of things to worry about.
