Still can't figure out how he got in.

I had to chase it with a blanked until it got too tired to fly.

I then threw it outside.

It made a vibrating sound when I had the blanket over it.

Animal cruelty, I say.

Um...what?

Truely, "Say what?" *It would have been more cruel to know that bat
was in the house and not do anything about it, since there would
likely not be enough food around for the bat to eat, and it would
have starved after a day or so.

"I then threw it outside" seemed quite harsh. If you want to rescue a
bat from starvation you don't throw it outside, you release it.- Hide

I'm sure that's what he meant. *I doubt he meant he threw it out like he
was throwing a fast ball.

I see no reason to be so sure / doubtful as you describe.

Now he says the bat must die if it dares inconvenience him again. Like if
he is talking about a mosquito or something (killing mosquitos I can
understand).

Bad Terry! No biscuit!


Killing bats is like killing puppies or kittens, people. You shouldn't do
it if you want children to love and respect you

I am biased of course. I have been bitten several times by bats that I
caught when I was a volunteer in a research project, many years ago. Only
made me admire them more. They are such fragile little things, but with a
lot of character.- Hide quoted text -


Agreed. Bats come under the heading of "So ugly, they're cute". I
did not see his (her) earlier post on Google when I posted earlier. :P
