Entire New Brunswick town teams up to catch rogue llama running amock

Residents of a small town in New Brunswick joined together to ensure one of their neighbours got home safely after she masterminded not only a great escape, but a great evasion.

The Kaser family brought Louise the seven-month-old llama home from a farm in Nova Scotia a few days prior and thought twice about leaving their new animal home alone, Valerie Kaser told CBC News.

Thinking the llama would be comfortable and at home with the other horses at Pegasus Pony Pals, the family decided to take the risk. That’s when Louise pounced on her opportunity.

“At this point I think we decided that she probably ducked under a gate that was set up to be a suitable height for horses but not really low enough to the ground to keep a determined llama in,” Owen Kaser told BuzzFeed Canada.

By the time the family was informed their llama was missing, there had already been numerous sightings of Louise around town

Honestly, the kids and I keep looking out the window hoping the llama will run by. #KvLife #Quispamsis #HopeHeGetsHomeSafe

Now would be a good time for @myNBCC to consider offering a Llama tracking and trapping course. #Quispamsis

After spending 19 hours exploring her new home, Louise appeared on a neighbors lawn.

The Kaser family said that Louise will be kept in the barn until she is more comfortable with her surroundings and they plan on upgrading the fencing around their property, the family told CTV News.
