Our Friend Is No More

Our Friend Is No More

Local residents are being warned to watch out for their pets and livestock by a Udora resident who had an Alpaca destroyed by a bear or cougar.

Living in the country there is always the chance of seeing a wide variety of animals. Some are domesticated like the Llama and Alpaca pictured here or our neighbours horse. We are also blessed with all kinds of wild animals who we occasionally see such as deer, rabbits, raccoons and skunks.

There are also other wild animals that you occasionally hear of someone seeing such as a resident Black Bear that is usually spotted at least once a year cleaning out someones bird feeder or Garbage can.

Up until now that has been the extent of what we have heard about. This past weekend that all changed as the friendly little brown Alpaca in the picture was attacked and killed by possibly a bear or cougar.

Once a playful critter in our neighbours yard our little friend, who has been a joy for us, our Grandchildren and our visitors, will be sadly missed
