March 17 (UPI) -- The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish is seeking to hire "professional bear huggers."
"Must have ability to hike in strenuous conditions, have the courage to crawl into a bear den, and have the trust in your coworkers to keep you safe during the process," the department wrote in a lighthearted Facebook post announcing the application deadline for the next class of conservation officers.
The post includes photos of officers holding bear cubs as part of a research project in Northern New Mexico, offering applicants a chance to have "the experience of a lifetime," while pointing out "not all law enforcement field work is this glamorous."
The post warns against crawling into bear dens or feeding bears, adding, "If you do, our officers will have to have a chat with you."
The department is taking applications for conservation officer trainees online through March 30.

“courage to crawl into a bear den”
Didn’t workout so well for Timothy Treadwell......he truly became one with the bears when one of ‘em he loved and protected ate him.
They’re classified as WILD animals for a reason.

Is this just a creative way of advertising for new Rangers?
I would think that any touching or hugging of bear cubs would be discouraged. Wouldn’t a Mama Bear reject a cub that smelled like a Human Being had been hold it?

Actually Timmy didn’t go into a bears den. He and his girlfriend were in a tent.

Mr. Ranger, quit sniffing Boo Boo and put him down before I open you up like a pick-a-nick basket.

You can recognize black bear scat because it contains berry seeds and bits of squirrel fur, while grizzly scat has bits of ranger hats and badges in it.

Perhaps the LAST such experience of a particular lifetime as well.

Oregon has a guy that devised a swinging arm gizmo for collecting bear hair. He was dubbed “The Bear Spanker”. It didn’t require contact with the bears, though.
