Large flying foxes roosting in the Philippines. These are essential seed dispersers and pollinators that are in alarming decline, largely due to over hunting for human food. ⁠ ⁠ Info and photo: @merlintuttlesbats ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #fruitbats #batsofinstagram #batlover #savethebats #conservation #saveouranimals #batconservation #merlintuttle #philippines #wildlifefacts
Thank you for this post…I am quite literally shocked and personally appalled… Why would people eat bats? Could it be a question of food shortage? I never mean to disparage any people, in any place in the world for practices that are utterly different than where I live but… Is there a way you @batbnb could shed some light on this practice of eating bats? I’m truly shocked. Ill be happy to research this on my own as well. Not asking you all to do any heavy lifting here. I appreciate learning this as unhappy as it makes me. #savethebats #batconservation #wildlifefacts #merlintuttle
