    Did you know this about bats? and Trudeau

    Put up a bat enclosure to encourage the presence of these shy animals.
    Bats consume 3,000 or more mosquitoes and other insects nightly, and Bats are statistically less likely to be rabid than dogs.
    Need another reason? Bats are responsible for up to 95 percent of the Seed dispersal essential to the regeneration of forests.

    Our planet is populated with plenty of bizarre and astonishing creatures.

    Here are three from the Bat Family...

    So, ….. 2 out of 3 bats have a useful purpose!

    If we could just train the last one to eat mosquitoes........
    Or do anything useful...
    Other than take selfies’ and Spend or give away our country, labor, and dollars!

      After reading the first part of your sales pitch on encouraging bats, I was ready to take the next step and do the same, then I read the last part, and concluded that the multitudinous benefits of attracting the first two species, still does not outweigh the risk of attracting the third.

      This west country has been certified as Leftwing Ding Bat free ever since Grassfarmer was evicted. I would hate to be the one responsible for introducing another one, especially if it happens to reproduce and turns into a full blown infestation, there would most certainly be a good old fashioned lynch mob looking for whoever brought the first left wing dingbat into this otherwise pristine environment.
