I think you gave him a very good chance to do that. I found a bat on my kitchen floor last year (I do get them flying in the house occasionally) and it was obviously injured with a torn wing. I contacted the Bat Conservation Trust here in the UK and they found me a local group and in a couple of hours a very nice young man came to collect my poor bat. They looked after him and he did survive a couple of weeks with their care but sadly he died suddenly for no apparent reason - but at least he had been given every chance. I do hope there are such caring groups over there - I'm sure there are.

What a shame.

I'm disgusted at the animal rescue centres readiness to kill this wee soul (euthanize is just a fancy way to avoid saying 'Kill') and Rescue doesn't quite fit the description in this situation. I live in the UK and it is against the law here to harm, injure or kill Bats as they are a protected species.<br />Thank goodness for people like you and I hope you gave the manager of the Rescue Centre hell. You should also tell your story to your local paper as who knows -someone else just may be able to help another poor creature after reading what you did. Well done.

I would never dream that a wild life refuge would even think of euthanizing a bat! I would complain to them also, and I'm so glad you took the bat back!Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03748075364992710186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4057290652197422235.post-4833328208563311402014-08-25T11:37:37.449-04:002014-08-25T11:37:37.449-04:00What a lovely thing to do!

He looks so pretty and has every right to a fighting chance in his natural habitat. We have a lot of bat boxes in the woods here and last Summer were lucky enough to see about 30 bats hanging from a tree and circling it - I hope your little bat finds others and lives happily ever after.
