You have a point there. Why are bats protected in this country but not other countries? They eat bats in some countries don't they? If the protection law is not worldwide its a futile law in this country.
Its a bit like the UK has to keep pollution levels to a certain level, yet other countries don't follow, so what we do is futile. 

What an idiotic statement! Yeah, lets just let the country go to rack and ruin as some other countries don't bother!

Yeah you say that, but had we been a little less sensitive towards bats maybe we wouldn't be suffering the coronavirus by now.

perhaps you could explain to those of us who don't understand your statement above how being "a little less sensitive towards bats" would mean maybe we wouldn't be suffering the coronavirus by now.

And who do you mean by 'we'?

UK?

China?

Both?

The whole world?

I'm very interested in your thought processes.

Thank you.

Please explain?

Well its not fair how one country can eat bats. And then another country can't even remove them from their own property without breaking the law.
Some things don't add up in life.

That's the difference between an enlightened, civilized society and a backward, superstitious dictatorship.

I can't argue with that.

And I don't think even sarahandme could fail to get it to add up.

At least Sarahandme has learned that things aren't always fair.

Oh I agree, it baffles me how such a technologically advanced society prefers folklore and superstition to science!
