https://www.sciencenews.org/article/bats-beat-dogs-main-cause-rabies-deaths-united-states Interesting that this was published on the same day. If the statistics in this article are to be believed, less than one person a year on average dies from bat-borne rabies. Hardly a threat if you consider all of the other far more likely ways a person may die. Fake news. Sad.

If The NY Times bothered to do any actual research they'd learn what crap they are putting out there!

My love of bats was something I never knew would be. They are the most precious pups. As well, They enjoy being asked ‘who’s a good boy?’ Lol

Stop spreading misguided information just for the fun of it. It helps no one.

Bats are an integral part of the ecosystem and have already been wildly demonized. These articles further embolden people to kill bats they find, further harming the already dwindling bat population. Fear mongering in all it's forms is wildly immoral and does not belong in any reputable journalistic articles.

Gee, I thought an entity like the New York Times would at least do a LITTLE research. Why should I believe anything else the Times has to say?

This is ridiculous fear mongering. By spreading such misinformation, it endangers an animal that helps the environment by pollination and natural bug control.

Such a shame, writing and posting false information about bats. I love bats, all species of them, I’m always learning new things about them and enjoy Bat seminars. We need bats and we have to protect them!

Please do your homework!!! Bats are not the most common cause of rabies any more that cell phones cause bone spurs!!! Journalist integrity, please.
