A northwest Calgary family is calling on authorities for help and expressing concerns for the safety of nearby pets and children after four bobcats moved into their backyard this week.
Isabelle Miller says a mother bobcat with an injured back left leg is regularly seen frequenting her property in Panorama Hills with her three baby cubs.
The animals were first seen on Tuesday.
Miller says her family first called 311 and non-emergency police services but their requests for help have been pushed aside.
"No authorities of any kind are willing to help us to get rid of them," Miller said.
"Instead, we are being told we will need a damage control licence and to pay professionals out of pocket to handle the situation.
"Why are taxpayers that are reporting dangers being told public services are refusing to help?"
