The news on TV mentioned HUNDREDS of bats were caught and euthanized and sent to Raleigh for testing. What is wrong with people? Why did they not just euthanize a few and send Those off for testing? Well guess who is going to be complaining about the millions of mosquitoes this summer? Bats are beneficial to our evniroment and need to be protected. They could have taken the captured bats out to a wooded area along a creek or river somewhere and released them.
