SpeedRacer 1 #27 August 31, 2011 Not necessarily. Anyway I've done a little reading and I think that many people's fear of bats is way overblown. Bats are not aggressive. Bat bites are extremely rare, and when they do happen it is nearly always because someone tried to pick up a wounded bat with their bare hand. Less than 1% have rabies, and even rabies doesn't make them aggressive. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #28 August 31, 2011 And bats are good for us too. They gobble up as many mosquitoes as they can. Many times I've gone outside in my yard at sunset and seen 3 or 4 bats fluttering around.

virgin-burner 1 #30 August 31, 2011 Quote i don't care what anyone says,,,, seeing a bat flying around is creepy and to me at least,,, sorta scarey !!!.... for such a small animal the way it moves( fies) makes a shiver run down my back. HAd one in the house a couple of years ago..i took a bath towel and was able to toss it over the top of him/her... while IT was sitting on the edge of a table,,, then gathered the whole thing up... gently, so i would NOT crush it, and hauled it all outside the house and shook it free.......ughhhh....Man !! that freaked me Out !!!.. good luck.. jt once i hit one going on the highway at over 80mph; little thing got stuck in the whipers. stopped at the next possibilty, got a tissue, pulled it free carefully and put it on a tree. apparently it was still alive. oh, that happened with another dorkzoner too! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

I love the litte flying mousies... they are very efficient at getting rid of the real blood suckers. Far more people have been harmed or killed by the diseases that mosquitos carry than all the imaginary ill intent of bats.
