Dear Animal lovers,

Hate animal cruelty? then please keep the Australian "Don't shoot bats" fight going. Here is the link to the petition in case you have not signed and sent to friends and colleagues at http://www.change.org/petitions/flying-foxes-under-threat-in-qld

Plus a copy of the submission prepared by Carol Booth to fight against local govt being able to destroy flying fox roosts, "the Knuth amendment" http://www.batsqld.org.au/Documents/Submission%20on%20Land%20Protection%20Bill%2010%20Sept%202012.pdf

What is happening is nothing short of paving the road to species extinction. Two of the species being shot are already in the endangered species category.
