Almost ALL of the people who die of things like malaria are in Africa due to a number of reasons.

1) they are born there
2) ?

    Gettin' angried up!!!
i didn't realize bats were such a problem... never knew anybody with em. I hate spiders though.

bats aren't a problem for anyone.  They eat tons of bugs (which are a problem). 

They also carry rabies, which is deadly.

Mosquitoes transmit more deadly pathogens than any animal on the planet.  Millions of people die every year from diseases carried by mosquitoes. 

There is also 10 f*cking billion mosquitoes everywhere you go.  A very very very very low number of people in the US even get bitten by bats each year.

Not only is rabies deadly, but (like I said earlier) if you get it without a vaccination it has one of the highest mortality rates.

Almost ALL of the people who die of things like malaria are in Africa due to a number of reasons.

That's exactly my point.  Too many damn mosquitoes, so it doesn't make much sense to kill the animals which eat mosquitoes.  Especially considering the extremely low probably of you ever being bitten by a bat.

Great movie.

Mike: "I got an idea, okay? I'll open the fridge, you hit the lights. Bats are attracted to light. It'll fly in the fridge, I close the door, end of story." Steve: "That's moths, you dumb-ass, not bats." Mike: "Oh, yeah. Moths."
