The boy was mauled by the large cats at the edge of his yard, sending him to hospital with ‘significant superficial wounds’ until Saturday morning
A young boy from Lake Cowichan, B.C., has been released from hospital after two cougars attacked him on Friday.
He also said the boy’s mother wrestled the cougar off her son, resulting in some minor bite marks on her hand. After arriving at the scene, a B.C. Conservation team killed the two animals involved. But, according to the website of the Vancouver Island Wilderness and Historical Conservation, a non-profit site hosted by the University of Victoria, Canada has an estimated 4,000 cougars and 3,500 of them live in B.C. Of this, nearly a quarter reside on Vancouver Island.As a result of this density, Vancouver Island also has the highest rate of attacks, Ms. Wild said.
