Wiki Wanderings: Bat Bombs

Usually when I post wiki wanderings it's because I'm bored at work and mindlessly browsed "This Day In History" on Wikipedia until I found something exciting. However, I'm not always slacking off! Sometimes my work friends find weird wiki links and share them in group chat!

Anyway.

 

In his letter, Adams stated that the bat was the "lowest form of animal life", and that, until now, "reasons for its creation have remained unexplained". He went on to espouse that bats were created "by God to await this hour to play their part in the scheme of free human existence, and to frustrate any attempt of those who dare desecrate our way of life."...

 

Von Bloeker, his assistant, Jack Couffer, and Ozro Wiswell, a scientist, self-described "bat lovers", noted that it did not occur to them to question the "morality or the ecological consequences of sacrificing a few million bats".
