SHAMEFUL RABIES

Bats are the most common source of human rabies in the United States. Although rare, there are usually one or two human cases per year. Among the 19 naturally acquired cases of rabies in humans in the US from 1997–2006, 17 were associated with bats. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

Wow, it;'as a shame so many bad photos were used to portray bats in a "friendly light." This is like showing a bunch of snarling dogs instead of the way dogs normally look. I know PawNation was trying, but they missed the boat on this one.
