Gruesomes stories from the Great White North
or
The Virginia Hills

When catskinners roll out hibernating bears during winter oil exploration programs they often cause tremendous injuries (to the bear, not the cat). Hibernating bears are rarely disturbed but when they are it is usually the cat skinner who has to put the bear out of it's misery. This is accomplished by lowering the blade on the injured bear. You are not warned about things like this when you learn to drive a cat.

The cat skinner then has to fill out many forms explaining the death of the bear, he is not allowed to keep the hide.
