Outbreaks and pandemics have resulted in bats making headlines, due to their ability to spread viruses like SARS and MERS. This has made them an easy target for those who wish to take bats out of the picture. So what if, like a bunch of villagers mobbing together to take on a vampire, we decided to exterminate our planet’s bat population? What would a world without bats be like like?
