EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon wildlife biologist says a cougar was responsible for killing two goats and some chickens over three consecutive nights at a home near an 80-acre park in south Eugene.
The Register-Guard reports (https://is.gd/0yzWf5 ) that Oregon Fish & Wildlife biologist Brian Wolfer said Monday that tracks found in two pastures near the home confirm a cougar was responsible. Wolfer thinks it was probably a young adult.
Wildlife officers set a trap in hopes of capturing the cougar.
He cautioned users of nearby Hendricks Park to keep pets on a leash.
