Comments on: Report Finds Lack of Oversight and Supervision by National Park Service in Biologists Death http://skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/2008/11/21/report-finds-lack-of-oversight-and-supervision-by-national-park-service-in-biologists-death/ Hunting, Outdoor Photography, Wildlife, Fishing Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:52:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Moose http://skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/2008/11/21/report-finds-lack-of-oversight-and-supervision-by-national-park-service-in-biologists-death/comment-page-1/#comment-39177 Moose Mon, 24 Nov 2008 04:47:13 +0000 http://skinnymoose.com/moosedroppings/?p=895#comment-39177 I would agree with you Hunting Life but I think human nature being what it is people sometimes take short cuts. While we don't know that for sure it seems his level of education would suggest he knew there was some safety precautions he should take. As a supervisor from time to time I find myself reminding those who work for me to follow company policies even though they know better. No matter whether he knew better or not it does not excuse the National Park Service from not properly supervising him and making sure policies and procedures were followed. -Moose- I would agree with you Hunting Life but I think human nature being what it is people sometimes take short cuts.

These are drilled into wildlife biologists heads in school and anyone studying biology or medicine in college which I am assuming this individual attended. It is still a sad case. I agree with you 100% that the Park Service has been stretched well past the breaking point and until we can gain some better plans on how best to run this agency, I think we are going to be seeing more and more internal issues in this agency. The same can be said for most of the agencies dealing with the outdoors in our great country.
