Culling vampire bats doesn't prevent rabies
Old 13-06-2012

Researchers have found that culling vampire bats may actually not be helping prevent rabies spread at all- in colonies that are sporadically culled the disease rates actually increase and the lowest levels of the virus are found in colonies that have never been culled.
