Cougar euthanized after child attacked over August long weekend
An area closure that spanned along the river and into the North Saskatchewan River was removed Tuesday morning.
While cougar encounters are rare, they do happen. Kohut advised people travel in groups and carry some form of protection, such as bear spray. Don’t run or turn your back – instead, walk slowly and stay facing the animal.“Make yourself look big and speak loudly. If the cougar makes contact, fight back and don’t give up. Use all means at your disposal,” said Kohut in the statement.
