This was sent to me by a co-worker - it may not be bird related but I think all nature lovers should be concerned. I checked and did find the listing. It's basically under taxidermy. I think I found it by searching for "real bat". It does have a disclaimer that it was harvested legally under fish and wildlife regulations.but..??? I just do not understand why anyone would want this unless they are using it for educational purposes. Most of you know I have a bat farm.and I feel the laws protecting them is not sufficient. I have had a bat die on my property, and although it would be nice to have a specimen to use when I give my lectures before my tours.I still turned it over for educational purposes. I just find this disturbing - others my think it is no different that stuffing a duck, fish, or deer head. You decide.
