Farm owners blame cougar for killing 3 sheep and an emu on Vancouver Island

The owners of the Truffle Farm in Parksville, B.C., about 120 kilometres northwest of Victoria as the crow flies, say they found two of their sheep dead from an apparent cougar attack Saturday morning.

The farm says the neighbouring property then had a sheep killed the next night and an emu the night after that, prompting people in the community to start patrolling the area in an effort to ward off the animal.
