@carnage4life Err... I live in rural Oregon. Wildlife and forestry management jobs are really important in rural communities. The critters were here, first; and then the tribespeople. Cars, freeways, farms, hikers. Read about Canada's feral pig problem, yet?

@ninavizz @carnage4life oh so it's not mediating conflict BETWEEN grizzly bears? going to have to withdraw my application. i can't help but think my blanket policy of euthanising humans for the safety of the grizzly community won't be too popular with the supervisors

@thegarbagebird @ninavizz @carnage4life I was particularly excited about the opportunity for teleworking, getting on a zoom call with two feuding grizzly bears sounds like the ideal job tbh

@funkula @thegarbagebird @ninavizz @carnage4life I was encouraged by the teleworking, until I saw the bit about walking through wet, muddy and rocky terrain, stooping, crouching etc. And the moderate risk of being torn apart by a grizzly bear.

@anne_twain To be fair, the risk is less than moderate. Really. Grizzlies tend to gouge and fling human bodies large distances, rather than tearing them apart; and when they do get torn apart, thankfully they eat everything. Most failed grizzly mediators look great in their coffins, seriously—you're making much too big a deal of this. @funkula @thegarbagebird @carnage4life
