The owners of any injured or dead livestock killed by a wild animal will now get more compensation. This decision has been taken by Sudhir Mungantiwar, minister of finance, planning and forest department. It will include attacks by tigers, leopards, bears, wild pigs, crocodiles, elephants, wild dogs and foxes. The livestock will include cows, bulls, buffaloes, sheep, and goats. The decision to compensate the animals was last taken on July 2nd, 2010 in which the compensation was less, which will now be increased.

Usually cows, buffaloes and bulls die and cost a lot to the owners, hence 75% of the market price of these animals, would now be compensated to them. If the 75% of the original cost is more than Rs 25000, the owner will be given the same amount, not more than that. In case of sheep, goats and others, the owners will get 75% of the market price with a limit of Rs 6000.
