Yeah, they can go extinct too. That would have saved us a global pandemic or two.

  Why not wipe out pigs and birds, too? That will take care of some more pandemics. Hope you are not too attached to any of the following crops, which would die off without bats: cacao, peaches, bananas, guava, mango, dates, and figs.

      Responding to someone saying bats can go extinct. They didn’t specifically mention a type of bats, so it seems it’s out of hatred for bats in general.

  that is what Romans did, turning the landscape into a desert, wiping out every civilization that opposed them, and calling it peace. Sure, no life, means no disease, but that is not really sustainable, isn't it?
