I do understand that bats have been recognized as reservoirs for dangerous diseases. My last post was, in fact, a description of the ebola epidemic that many scientists believe to have originated from contact with bats. However, we don't really want all the bats to die off in this disastrous epidemic that is ongoing in North America. Not all bats carry diseases, and these animals are crucial not only for the ecological balance they maintain through pollination and consumption of insects, but also for our agriculture. The solution to the diseases spread by bats is to find treatment for those diseases, and to avoid encroaching upon their natural habitat. Not killing them off. So yes, I did mean that. :)
