Kill the humans. That will solve the problem.
I’ll take the job.
Here’s my advice to humans: “Do not interact with grizzly bears”.
Send me my money.
Easy job...............
“You will go about issuing citations in vast quantities for petty violations of obscure federal regulations and generally being a nuisance for rural residents and persons engaged in outdoor recreation.”
Will they be wearing bells around their necks?
“US government is offering one lucky applicant the chance to spend time in the Montana wilderness, dealing with discord within the world of grizzly bears”
Getting to camp in a tent, see wild life, free exercise, food and get paid too, I wonder why the last grizzly bear manager, ah, went away?
Growing up in Montana it was a summer ritual to read at least one story in the Billings Gazette about some idiot being gored/kill by getting way too close to or, believe it or not, actually trying to pet a buffalo.
In my college years I had a summer internship where I had to occasionally feed hay bales to a small buffalo herd. The corral was built of stout steel posts and 4x6” beams like it was for holding a tyrannosaurus rex. A buffalo is to a cattle bull what a wolf is to a terrier.
In other words risking becoming bear poop on a daily basis. 😏
This has, on rare occasion, led to attacks on people, leading to calls from Republican legislators in Montana for the ban on hunting grizzlies to be lifted. The federal government has resisted such pressure, instead focusing on efforts to reduce conflict by encouraging better garbage storage, improved fencing around livestock and warning campers to not sleep with food in their tents.
How exactly will success in this job be measured?

Sounds like a sketch JCarr did once, his charity involving overweight kiddies. Called “Feed the tigers.” Drop the fat little F**ers off in the forest and video them vainly trying to escape — “too late now!”.
Culling the stupid is this one.
Will the selected applicant be provided training to deal with gay and trans-gendered grizzlies and to address them using their preferred pronoun when resolving conflicts so as not to further inflame any already difficult encounters?
So typical! They are looking for humans to manage bears instead of other bears.
