Dairy farmers Ralph and Sonja Anderlini are warning the public about a cougar in south Langley after one of their young cows was killed early Sunday morning. The 800-pound heifer was found dead in a pasture on 18 Avenue off of 216 Street, near Campbell Valley Park. “We could tell it was a cougar because of how the cow was killed and the conservation officer confirmed it,” said Sonja.

A cougar goes after the jugular in the neck of an animal.
In 13 years of farming in the area, the Anderlinis have never lost any of their livestock to wild animals. “The heifer was killed 150 feet from the house and pool deck,” she said. “We really just want to make south Langley residents aware this happened and that there is a cougar in the area.” The Conservation Office Service confirmed that it is a cougar and they have set up live traps in the area.

If YOU ENCOUNTER A COUGAR: • Stay calm and keep the cougar in view. Pick up children immediately — children frighten easily, the noise and movements they make could provoke an attack. Back away slowly, ensuring that the animal has a clear avenue of escape. Make yourself look as large as possible. Keep the cougar in front of you at all times. • Never run or turn your back on a cougar. Sudden movement may provoke an attack. • If a cougar shows interest or follows you, respond aggressively. Maintain eye contact with the cougar, show your teeth and make loud noises. Continued Page 5
