Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. ~H. L. Mencken~ We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. ~Plato~ When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic. ~Dresden James~ |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51086916 United States 01/09/2014 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I doubt it was the heatwave that caused them to fall dead. I know bats are sensitive especially to temperatures but this doesn't sound right. Isn't it usually hot down there? Or at least pretty warm? These bats probably were used to the temperatures for that climate... |

LOCKYER Valley's mayor has called on the State Government to carry out post-mortem tests after thousands of flying foxes were killed by a heatwave last week. Mayor Jones hoped to rule out the possibility that the fighting was symptomatic of lyssavirus, a suspicion that has been rejected by conservation groups. She said fighting within a single colony could not account for the widespread nature of the deaths, which extended to colonies as far afield as the Sunshine Coast and northern New South Wales.
