It is reported that a study into a disease, the white-nose syndrome, that has killed a million little brown bats in the US since 2006 warns that the species may be wiped out in less than twenty years if a solution is not found.
Apparently, one option being considered is a cull of bats in areas where the disease is known to be present, though this has been ruled out.
Thank heavens for that. If culling the creatures turned out to be a viable option, it would be only a matter of time before someone though of applying the ‘cure’ to Swine Flu!
