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.
Maybe they meant “bare buggers”!
Comes with a State of New Mexico ‘Guarantee of Safety’ certificate.
More like a chat with your mangled remains. And I'm sure that ranger walked right up and snagged that bear cub right out of its mama's loving paws.
I've always said you can run faster carrying a bear cub than you can without one.
I sugget they concentrate their recruiting efforts in mental hospitals.
