An unusual new resident on Bowen Island is causing concern among some residents.

A cougar was first spotted on the island in late July, prompting a municipal alert on July 25.

It is believed it swam to the island or floated on some logs.

Since then, the animal has been spotted multiple times and is believed to have killed several deer.

“It was clawing on the door,” Dillon Pryce-Jones said.

Farm owners have been in contact with conservation officers.

“They told me their policy is not to interfere with wildlife until they start attacking outside of their natural predatory food chain and it hadn’t attacked my animals and gone after a kid or a dog yet so they didn’t want to do anything,” Noah Pryce-Jones said.
