Such persons find pleasure in destruction of the helpless. These bats are truly helpless. They are also a necessary part of the natural world. They need protection from ignorant zealots who are incapable of appreciating their value.

Farmers are in the position to flying fox proof their farms, and in this lucky country, our Governments are in a position to provide funding for this. Australia will regret destroying its own unique flaura and fauna, then when the mining companies finish raping our landscape, we will have no tourism. Do not wipe out bats.
