The king of beasts, the lord of the jungle, loses four of his mess per year, but he kills forty--five persons to make up for it.
But when it comes to killing cattle, the lord of the jungle is not interested.

He kills but 100 in six years--horses of hunters, no doubt -- but in the same six the tiger kills more than 84,000, the leopard 100,000, the bear 4,000, the wolf 70,000, the hyena more than 13,000, other wild beasts 27,000, and the snakes 19,000, a grand total of more than 300,000; an average of 50,000 head per year.
In response, the government kills, in the six years, a total of 3,201,232 wild beasts and snakes.

Ten for one.
It will be perceived that the snakes are not much interested in cattle; they kill only 3,000 odd per year.

The snakes are much more interested in man.

India swarms with deadly snakes.
