There Are Bats In The Lobby!!!!

Seriously. . . Because our superintendent is crazy nuts and he decorates for every holiday the lobby has batfriends!!! They are fake. (Which is good because it is mean to keep bats indoors) but one is a skeleton bat and one is not. The one that is not is furry!! And I pet it when I walked by. It is hanging from the ceiling and I smiled up at it and said "Bat Friend!" :) and then I reached up and pet it even though it is only pretend. It is also giant. Real bats are not big, but this bat was big. It is cute like a furry friend even though it is supposed to be scary. I do not think bats are scary though. I think they are cute cute adorable lovefaces!! OH I LOVE THE BATS.

Some people are mean to bats. This makes me so so sad. LUCKILY, there is an organization called Bat Sanctuary that helps save the bat friends. Go to batworld.org and read the stories at "adopt a bat." They are so so sad but then it makes you so so happy when you read that the bats are ok now. . . Except they also have a "in memory" page where people were so mean to bats that they could not even be saved!!! :( :( :( oh it is so so sad. Bats are so cute and furry and they fly all around! I love them.

I am weird though people say because people say bats are rats and they say rats are gross. Why are rats gross though? I think everything deserves respect, if not love. I understand if a rat is in your house that you might be scared it will spread diseases and you will want to kill her/him. . . but I wouldn't want to kill him/her. I would want to set a humane trap. And also, bats are not known for diseases. . . They are only known for being sweet and nice. DO NOT KILL BATS. They are gentle and sweet and I wish I could have one, but I can't because it's not nice to them to put them in cages. They will have to cling to the wires of the cages and it will cut their feet and hurt their feet so so much! Also, bats like to live with a whole lot of other bats. . . So I would need to own like twenty and I would need to have a GIANT bat cage (bigger than the ones at the Bronx Zoo that make me sad because the bats have hardly any room at all!) that looks like a bat natural habitat instead of a cage and I would need to know how to take care of them well. That is why Bat Sanctuary is so nice. That is what it's like. It's like a giant place for them to live with each other and be happy. I like bats. I especially like big brown bats. They are cute and furry!!
