Cougar Mauling Of Boy Prompts Tips For Cougar Encounters - August 4, 2022 - Micah Quinn

Earlier this week on Sunday a Red Deer family’s life changed forever. Chay Feuser received a call from her friend Alishea that her son Cason had been viciously mauled by a cougar near the Rocky Mountain House area. A neighbour was able to throw a rock and hit the cougar in the head. It then released Cason from its grip. Seven-year-old Cason received over 200 staples and surgical clamps and was in surgery for three and a half hours. He also received additional stitches to his head, face and neck. Miraculously no main arteries were hit or lungs punctured. Cason does, however, have a fractured jaw and sever cosmetic injuries. Alberta Fish and Wildlife confirmed that the cougar was caught and euthanized. Video Journalist Micah Quinn was out at the river valley in Lethbridge and has tips from Alberta Fish and Wildlife on what to do should you encounter a cougar.
