This is the problem plain & simple

cultural beliefs/traditions, add in poverty/desperation/corruption 

It is human nature that repeats itself, not history.

Interesting, Budboy.

Would love to read it....with my ad blocker on. But they don't like that. 

On the positive note, we seem to have fixed school shootings for now

^ fucking A

No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

what does one do with a bat?

^You hit baseballs with them, Silly. 

 

In all seriousness, though, it sounds like a complex cultural tug-of-war between what practices are believed to be beneficial (and valued) and what the potential/verified harm such practices create.

It seems, too, that its the wealthy who can afford and choose to eat exotic foods  ~~  so, because of the few, we've got this virus....beans are the answer!  

 

I caught a bat with a fishing rod.  Fishing in a cove of trees, evening coming on, and I throw the lure out, and sonar did the rest.Bat zooms down and gets hooked. I let the guy go, but we did do a close exam of stretching his wings out, filthy vermin with wings, yep.

Cool bat story.  

Buddy's daughter snagged a duck once. Pissed off duck.

We, and that means the world, are in this mess because the Communist leadership in China decided that it was more important to protect the image of the party in early December than to take the necessary precautions that were obviously needed at that point. If they had locked down Wuhan on December 9, when they first knew that it could be transmitted between humans (depite denying it for another 5 weeks) none of this would have happened.

 

Yes, the chinese culture of eating exotic animals has fucked the world..........Sad Shit Indeed!

Common to see bats in the mines, cool little critters...

(And the World Health Org declared the Pandemic on Dec 31, 2019...  too bad the tRump admin ignored it for months)

 

If you read the article they took a bunch of half measures to stop the consumption of wild animals and then had loop holes in the half measures. Look China gets to do whatever they want with regards to what they want to eat, but if they want to be at the head of the supply chain for the world then they get to eat duck, chicken, beef, pork, lamb, and sea food and that is it. 

This is the second time through. No more chances. They also have to allow the CDC to have a permanent presence in China. Oh no we did have that but Trump cut those jobs to give tax cuts to billionaires. 

 

Here is what the bats think of all this:

..as for our Diceman wanna be president he stopped flights from china in January. but everyone thought he was just trying to deflect focus from impeachment and called him racist for doing it.

>> stopped flights from china in January. but everyone thought he was just trying to deflect focus from impeachment and called him racist

Maybe because he was still calling the "Chinese Virus" a hoax well into Febs.?

I have found 2 dead bats in my backyard. Glad my dog did not eat them.

 

High BB.  How you guys doing?

We are settling in the Sonoran Desert! Happy Desert Lizards................Bats are awesome little creatures. They Keep the insects in check. We should protect them & not eat them.
