Bats are productive in our nature.
Bats are phenomenal for plants and trees, imperative in some places. Many bats eat fruit and, therefore, spread the seeds required to plant more.
Most bats, however, eat insects. This is, of course, important to farmers whose crops would otherwise be eaten by insects. But these bats also play an important role in maintaining human health. One bat is capable of eating up to 1,200 mosquitoes in a single hour.

So anything bad for bats should be eliminated.
