After a week of a cougar prowling Protection Island, residents are hoping the BC Conservation Officers will help it move along.
Peter Rombough, who is a retired biologist, sent a letter to Sheila Malcolmson, Nanaimo’s MLA, saying the cougar has been “terrorizing” the Protection Island residents.
“It has been seen and videoed jumping fences and walking along people’s decks as they watch, and it watches them, from behind the glass. It has even gone so far as to stash a deer carcass, which it killed outside someone’s bedroom window, under a resident’s house!” He says he hopes conservation officers will come to the island to speak with residents and do an assessment, because so far to his knowledge the officers have just taken statements.
