At approximately 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 24, a cougar entered a farm property on the Agate Bay Road and killed two sheep.
The farmer was in the barn at the time and not very far away from the incident. When she came out of the barn she found two of her sheep had just been killed.
Conservation was called and said an officer would be coming out, and the neighbours in the area were also warned about the cougar being in the area.
If you encounter a cougar, keep calm. Make yourself look as large as possible and back away slowly, keeping the cougar in view, and allowing a clear exit for the cougar. Pick up children and small pets immediately. Never run or turn your back- sudden movements may provoke an attack.
