India has much money?!

Microchips tag stray Delhi cows

Delhi has about 40,000 cows roaming the streets
The authorities in the Indian capital Delhi have turned to microchips to tackle the growing problem of stray cows roaming the streets.
A court had earlier ordered authorities in south Delhi to offer a reward of $45 to anyone delivering a stray cow.

The authorities then sell the cow to a new owner but they are concerned people might take advantage by bringing back the same cow for the reward.

A $11 microchip in the cow’s gut will now show a cow already brought in.

Though it’s only $11 a piece, that’s still money! speaking about one movement.

There is one thing I don’t understand though, the government gives a person who brings in a stray cow $45. Now they are afraid that people might take advantage of that, thus putting the chip in, to track which cow has been submitted in before and prevent a person to submit the same cow twice. (submit?! wth, me had too much work…)
That means a cow worth less than $45 in India?!

Am I missing something? Please enlighten me!
