really?  Shocked

well put it this way, much as i'm moved by your obvious concern for our woodland creatures, I don't think I've ever read you chastising any other industry for harming wildlife leading me to conclude that you merely highlight the plight of the bats because you're still tilting at windmills.

Now, a thread from you displaying an ounce of the same concern over oil covered birds in the gulf for example would allay my suspicions that you refuse to acknowledge anything which doesnt fit with your world view.

But I thought it obvious  Wink


What utter tosh. When wildlife suffers as a result of an accident, that is one thing - a regrettable, but happily infrequent, occurence. And when birds are affected by oil, there are many actions which are employed, though obviously not with 100% success, to remove the oil and get the birds back into the wild.

Windmills represent an ongoing danger to wildlife, all day every day that the wind blows. Plus they instantly kill or fatally maim birds/bats.

There is, then, a great difference. I appreciate, though, it may be too complex for you to understand fully.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Not really sure what Banjoboy or whatever his name is taking about. Perhaps Nicobat, a sensible man like yourself should shit in his head. .  This may help him.  Cheesy

About Twenty miles from where we live there is a large windfarm. We walk up there and have never seen any dead animals near these windmills though we once found a dead Hispanic goat!

What energy generator doesn't kill animals or humans for that matter? Coal? Nuclear? How many fish and shellfish are dying right now off Japan. I would wager more than all the windmills will kill ever.

If you get walloped by the end of a blade doing nigh on 200mph, you are not going to drop like a stone -- more be catapulted onto the next continent ( OK -- slight exaggeration).
