Is it permissible for the family of the deceased to demand blood money for their inheritor who died as a result of being gored by a bull?

If a bull gores a person, and no one caused it, then the family of the deceased has no right to demand blood money (diyya); because the action of an animal, which is peculiar to it, is considered wasted, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The injury caused by an animal is not liable for compensation."
