Cougar alert White Lake woman spots ‘cougar’ just east of Arnprior JOHN CARTER john.carter@metroland.com Are there cougars in Eastern Ontario? A White Lake woman believes so after seeing what she thinks was the elusive animal just east of Arnprior. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) isn’t ruling out the possibility, but says despite about a dozen calls a year from this area, officials haven’t been able to verify there are cougars about. Margaret Cairns was driving to her nursing job in Ottawa May 17 when she saw the animal. She had turned onto Highway 17 from White Lake Road, crossed the bridge and was in the vicinity of the Carleton Place turnoff about 6:30 a.m. when she saw a
sudden movement in a field off to the right of the highway. Traffic was bumper-to-bumper, so Cairns got a good look at the large beige-brownish animal, which she says “appeared to look right at me.” “It was huge with a big head and a big tail,” she said. “It certainly wasn’t a coyote or a (domestic) cat. It was much bigger and much different.” Cairns said it appeared the animal was hunting in the field. She said she thought it might be either a wild cougar or one that had escaped from a zoo. Fewer deer and some fresh turkey kills in the White Lake area had made her wonder if a new predator had moved into the area, she said. See COUGARS, Page 3
