Your statement in the article that "They (bats) are natural reservoirs of many pathogens, such as rabies; and since they are highly mobile, social, and long-lived, they can readily spread disease" is no more accurate than if you made it in an article about dogs or cats. We would be up to our eyebrows in mosquitoes and other harmful insects without bats. They are the sole pollinators of many of our important crops. Yet many sources such as this continue to spread the hysteria that bats are likely to carry rabies. You are much more likely to encounter rabies or other diseases in domestic pets. If you have documented evidence that anyone has ever contracted rabies from a bat bite, I would be interested in seeing your documentation, since none of the sources I have consulted can produce any. Please consult an educated source such as <"Bat Conservation International"> at batcon.org for further information. Skeeterinsunshine (talk) 19:00, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
