Apparently CO'S shouldn't hunt as that affects their work ethic

[REMINGTON JIM]

Conflict of interest????? What about the fact that the MOE fired his ass, now he writes criticism and gets it's published. Now that IS a conflict of interest.

As i said before Hes a typical SKUMBAG doing ALL for himself Just another PERFECT person like Justin TRUDEAU is ! jmo RJ

Was this Casavant guy ever in FS John?? I had a run in with the dumbest, bone headed goof that thought he was a CO up there.

I can't believe this thread has made 3 pages. Open and shut case-- Casavant is an idiot and was a lousy CO.

It is preposterous to suggest that if tall Chinese lesbians with pierced nipples make up .01% of the BC population we should have a similar ratio of tall Chinese lesbian COs.

Hunters tend to apply for the job of CO just like car enthusiasts tend to apply for mechanic's jobs.

And that's OK.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

I'm sure they could hire equally skilled people that don't hunt to quash this. I agree that not hiring someone based on them being a hunter is discrimination but hiring a majority of hunters is clearly a bias. Just for the record I completely disagree with how they portrayed the hunting community within their ranks.

I have hunted with people I couldn't stand and hang out with people that don't hunt that I like very much so personally for me it's a crap shoot.

CO is a career many who where raised in a hunting family consider as a career at a young age. I actually have never met a non hunter who has ever thought of being a CO. Of course majority of applicants are going to be hunters because this is where their passion for wildlife and the outdoors comes from.

Also wonder how many COs started as non hunters and got into hunting because of working with hunters

Myself I don’t care if a gay transsexual Muslim non hunter becomes a CO as long as they are qualified and do a good job

But I also would not hire someone less qualified for the sake of diversity

What truly sucks about this whole "diversity" thing, is that now, when I eat my Smarties, I can't eat my red ones last.

Selecting by colour is racist you should be ashamed

I agree with this. The large majority of applicants would be hunters I imagine, would be cool to know the numbers? My issue would be if they were hiring a higher percentage than applied. If the percentage was crazy high I'd support putting an emphasis on hiring people without hunting backgrounds to offer perspective and possibly a different view point.

The one thing buddy scrutinized was the CO's relationship with hunting organizations, these are organizations in contact with the people you police. Kind of an important relationship.

The truth is all this BS about COs being a hunter or not is really not relevant and a real waste

The true issue we have in B.C. is a lack of COs and weak punishments for poaching. It’s not a lack of quality in the COs we have
