A bat-shit crazy story on East 14th Street

[Stacie Joy]

EV Grieve contributor Stacie Joy shared this anecdote from earlier today... which happened on East 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... Passersby spotted a wounded bat on a tree... and...

... we had to stop people from touching it or trying to put him into a paperbag and take him home as a pet. Nuts! As I was calling an animal hospital, he flew out into traffic right into someone's open car window. Bet that was an interesting moment.

    I would love a pet bat—they even purr!—but in this case that was a wild animal that was wounded. The only sensible thing to do would be to get him medical treatment and set him free.

    Did you know a bat can eat its weight in mosquitoes in a night? We should never have to even consider spraying the city—just set up bat houses in every city park!
