I wonder, how does Peta feel about our Coyote macot? I am surprised they have not cited us for our mocking portryal and explotation of coyotes.

Your little link doesn't provide an escape route plan that's applicable to bat trapped in a crowded sports arena. So please, if you're going to post a link
Amanda, give us a relevant link.
How in the does the AT& T center provide the bat with the following:

In any encounter with a bat, stay calm and keep children and animals away.

Hey you're in an arena!!!! Not going to happen.

If the bat is indoors, he or she will probably try to find an opening, taking a U-shaped flight path that is higher near the walls and lower toward the middle of the room, so when you are in a room with a bat, try to stay near a wall.

o, it's an arena, and the walls are sloped and full of noise.

After closing interior doors, create an escape route by opening a window or door to the outside.

IT's AN ARENA, the doors are always open to the outside gathering areas but how can that bat find it when there are 18000 people yelling?

If the bat disappears before exiting, he or she may have landed on hanging clothes, behind curtains or upholstered furniture, or in a plant—anywhere where hanging is possible.

No plants or clothes or upholstered furniture there.

Try to catch the bat in a net.

Did that, bat had a chance to fly low into a net. He didn't co-operate.

Or cover him or her with a wide-mouthed jar or plastic tub and gently work a piece of cardboard between the container and the surface from which the bat is hanging.

Sorry, can't do that in a crowded arena.

SO again,Amanda, if you're going to give us a link and say this is how you handle a bat, give us one that works for the given situation. A bat in a house is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than a bat in a crowded sports arena.

Say, if that bat had bit an innocent, what would you have said then?

Whatever that Coyote is loved.

We had a bat in our warehouse once. It was swooping at people so I shot it with a bb gun. The greatest shot I ever made. We threw a box over it and fire ants cleaned it to a skeleton by the next morning.

this whole thing is batty.

That will help me sleep better--- NOT! {shudder}



J/K. Your post was informative and helpful.

[panic giraffe]

that had to be a joke, no way peta is that bat crazy. and i'm usually pretty supportive of them.

[ElNono]

I don't know that they will allow my comment to be posted:

The bat should have known better than to trespass in Texas. AT&T Center is the home of the Spurs, after all.

Serious answer:
While I did not wish the bat's death, I would rather see the bat perish than see of of the PEOPLE in the building suffer injury.
There were numerous children in the stands. What if the bat had flown into one of them instead of Manu?
The injuries to the children could have been serious.

All things considered, the scenario did not end that badly.

Sorry angel... thought it was hilarious...

[hater]

I don't understand why ppl are surprised at this. It's fukcing PETA, they live for this

I wish I had had that in time to submit it with my post!

haha

I am tempted to post a pro bat comment under a different name just to confirm my opinion that PETA only allows comments that line up with their philosophy.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

reports say that the bat flopped when manu touched it.

[rjv]

i think PETA's response was a bit rabid.

[Bruno]

I wouldn't go as far as the article's writer but I didn't find what Manu did awesome, great or even funny. I find that quite stupid.

why???

smacking a bat down, in halloween, in front of 20+ thousand ppl, on the first try, while everyone else was running scared on a televised pro game = awesome, great and ing hilarious

[jb4g]

lol PETA, they always blow everything out of proportion. Im an ardent animal rights supporter, but i would never send a dime to them. They get too hung up on farm animals and stupid like this

[Baseline]

All bats are Laker fans. He got what he deserved.

I really hate peta. I don't deny that they help out and look out for animals, but they can be ridiculous sometimes.

[superjames1992]

Wow... I hate PETA.

[lefty]

Now we'll get the Stern treatment because of PETA
