This is a really good read. First I had no idea about the protection of bats in Maine and that made me happy, since I´m vegan and really do think all animals have a right to live. I´m also pro Palestine and have taken a huge dive in learning about the oppression that has been ongoing since the 1940s. It is horrific and I am very much against the USA supporting a full blown genocide.

Thanks for reading Karen! I agree, the last five and a half months have been a major learning moment for me too- there's so much I didn't understand until now about what's been happening for 75 years.

We’ve had experience with bats living in the walls and chimney in our cottage at Madison-on-the-Lake , OH. Those little critters also leave bat bugs behind that like to bite when you’re sleeping. I have to question why we’re ignoring the plight of other humans over the vitality of our winged mammals that bite us when we’re sleeping.

Now that you mention it, I kind of remember bats at the cottage! I didn't know about bat bugs though... eek!

And yes, it is very sad and messed up that we are so careful about bats but are letting other humans get killed.
