>me whitey too! me rove eat bat to extinct rong time then no more disease rike ebora or american coronavirus

>>11506209
Im asian but we dont eat bat or even fatburger. And also we defended our territory during vietnam war.

200 replies and no one can give a serious answer about why we shouldn't exterminate bats. Thought this board was supposed to be smart

>>11504981
problem with mad cow disease and swine flu was due to poor treatment of those farm animals. Bats are literally just caught and cooked

>>11506420
Swine flu has been found in bats. It's always the fucking bats. They are responsible for 99% if not 100% of viral infections and diseases in humans.
>b-but they cute and the mosquitoes
Kill yourself

>>11506424
nigger i didn't say bats weren't a problem i said that the asian was wrong in thinking eating cows and pigs were bad when they are literally domesticated.

>200 replies and no one can give a serious answer about why we shouldn't exterminate bats.
You've been given many answers as to why that's a bad idea.

>>11506521
Only decent reason is mosquitoes

>>11506603
There's other irritating bugs than just mosquitoes, though they're certainly the most disease spreading. There's also the fact that we have no clue what wiping out bats (if that's even possible) would do to the ecosystem. At best, we would be eliminating a significant pollinator, which could have far reaching consequences.

we shouldnt cause that's what the chinese would do

Bat populations have been decreasing in the us and mosquitoes aren't a glaring problem

>>11501413
We tried that with mosquitos and look at the ecosystem now.
Plus this guy >>11501420

>>11501413
Wrong faggots OP. It's the subhumans who think it's a fine idea to eat them and run/attend wet markets who need to be exterminated.

"Here, we show that anthropogenic chemical use (DDT; dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and increasing urbanization were the strongest drivers of changes in mosquito populations over the last eight decades in areas on both coasts of North America. Mosquito populations have increased as much as tenfold, and mosquito communities have become two- to fourfold richer over the last five decades. These increases are correlated with the decay in residual environmental DDT concentrations and growing human populations, but not with temperature. These results illustrate the far-reaching impacts of multiple anthropogenic disturbances on animal communities and suggest that interactions between land use and chemical use may have unforeseen consequences on ecosystems."

"There were enormous changes in mosquito communities over the past century, with species richness and abundance increasing two to tenfold over the past five decades (Fig. 1; all correlations with year were positive and significant (in Pearson's correlations, all P<0.02), except mosquito abundance in CA). Although there were significant increases in temperature over this period, multiple regression analyses suggested that long-term trends in mosquito communities were driven primarily by variation in DDT use and persistence and long-term increases in urbanization, with some of the year-to-year variation driven in part by precipitation, which showed little long-term trend (Figs 1 and and2;2; Table 1). DDT effects were consistently negative on both mosquito abundance and species richness, whereas the effects of urbanization were more variable, with significant negative effects on abundance in New York and California, and significant positive effects on mosquito species richness in New Jersey and California."

Long story short, mosquitoes are an issue, and nuking bats would not be helpful.

>>11507475
Who the hell are you and why are you looking at my wife's pussy!?

lol, you think cows and pigs aren't as bad as bats?
Why do you think we pump them chock full of antibiotics?

>>11501482
I wonder why no-one has considered domestication of bats yet. Literally flying doggos

why is it so hard for those arrogant fucking chinks to realise we should just eat the species we've been farming and selectively breeding for consumption for hundreds of years?
those yellow roaches eat dog, cat, primate, bat, rodent, dolphin, even human (most commonly in fetus), and literally any other organism on the planet, often eaten alive.

>>11509029
For the 100th time these diseases aren't spread by eating bats. Bats infect all the animals then those animals spread it to humans

>>11507467
If you live in a a city you won't even know mosquitoes exist

>>11509040
jesus christ those chinkroaches store the animals for consumption live in giant unhygenic markets with countless other species. you fucking retarded chink shill.

>>11509040
if covid-19 is a bat pangolin chimera virus, this was completely because the dirty chinese store those animals live near enough each other in markets for cross contamination

>>11509060
but the diesease was already in pangolins Sooner or later it would have spread to humans just happens pangolins only live in China

>>11509078
jump off the 6th story of the huawei factory while they have the suicide nets off for maintenance, zhang

you filthy creatures are the only ones creating these opportunities for chimera viruses to form.
No real human will ever look at a chink insect the same way again if this even blows over.

>>11509085
Where are you from faggot Americans caused the swine flu and killed 100 million but you don't see people blaming Americans. Same thing had happen in middle East and Africa diseases to spread to humans from bats. Stay retarded

>>11509091
exactly as you say, china is just like the middle east and like africa in terms of disease.
they are all filthy hotspots and incubation vessels, there is no hygiene in any of those places and their 'human' occupants all lack empathy and perspective

>>11509106
No hygenie in china? Then how come the most cases are in America? Almost like america are the dirty ones

>>11509121
almost like the vindictive, cruel, compassionless chinese covered this up so the rest of the world would take an economic hit

>>11509124
They didn't cover anything up. It wasn't even detected by doctors until December 29th. They told The world about it a few days later.

>>11509029
See >>11508128

>>11509129
blatant lie
>>11509130
so you really think the better option is the completely unregulated wildlife farming the dirty chinese do? should wet markets just stay?

we've been working with pigs and cows for centuries, and in developed countries it's fucking regulated

>>11509139
>blatant lie
The whistleblower who died made the statement on Dec 29th. The very next day China confirmed they were dealing with a unknown virus. Stay retarded

>>11508128
>>11509130
we give them antibiotics because we've studied them and know how to effectively farm. we don't just boil rodents we find in the forest and call it soup.

back to /x/ if you don't see merit in antibiotics

>>11509152
see image

>>11509054
Have you ever seen an American chicken or pig farm? It's not much better. Thousands of animals stacked on top of each other

>>11509164
That doesn't mean they lied they probably didnt know it spreads from humans to humans because the virus is brand new and was just discovered. China only mistake was waiting until Jan 23 to lockdown when they should have locked down Jan 1st

>>11501413
OP, you personally have to kill them off one by one by eating them alive.

No, I don't think so and I also did not imply that. You're just really fucking bad at reading comprehension.
One reason for why Italy was hit so hard is that they have huge facilities to produce pork in the North. Hence, bacteria are too often already immune to antibiotics and people die from secondary infections.
If you still didn't understand: eating only farm animals won't save you.
>>11509164
>back to /x/ if you don't see merit in antibiotics
>ignoring all science on the bad side effects of pumping our meat with antibiotics
Get some basic education.

>humans wipe out 98% of megafauna, 60% of marine life, like three quarters of all species with most of the damage done in the last centuries
>bats pollinate plants and cultivate forests worldwide for tens of millions of years and keep insect populations in check
>we are the most precious special good species because we MIGHT some day do something to benefit remaining life
>when we can't even survey 1% of the potentially dangerous asteroids heading our way or have even one human presence on another celestial body
Without mental gymnastics and IFs or BUTs and based on facts you're wrong.

You're so wrong I'm not even giving you a you
