Cougar Sedated And Captured Outside Kelowna, B.C., Apartment

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Jan, 2017 11:33 AM
    KELOWNA, B.C. — An unexpected and unwanted visitor to an apartment building in Kelowna, B.C., on Sunday night set off a quick response by police and the conservation service.
     
    Residents called after seeing a cougar hunker down into a brick alcove just outside the main doors of the building.
     
    RCMP called in the conservation service who managed to tranquilize the adult female without incident.
     
    Police say in a news release that the tenants in the building did the right thing by calling for help instead of trying to take the situation into their own hands.
     
    The animal is expected to be release once it has recovered from the sedation.
