    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. You are right. It is about crocodiles and hippos. Along the lake, children and cattle are dying. People cannot do horticulture along the lake because of hippos. Hon. Speaker, why I rise is that we passed the Wildlife Act here. Last year, there were two petitions relating to this matter and they were all stating that no compensation had been effected. This year, this is the second petition with a similar cry. As Hon. (Dr) Pukose has said, if the compensation levels are too high and money is not available, the Ministry concerned should come to us and say: “We cannot sustain this”, and we relook into the matter. That would be better than having an Act in place yet nothing comes out of it. I do not remember, during the Budget, seeing any request from the Department of Wildlife, or the appropriate Ministry that they needed money. We have not been told that the Ministry lacks money for compensation of victims. We should look at this Petition seriously and come up with compensation measures or else bring the matter back to the House."
