April 17 celebrates the tribute to the bats. This is the time when bats come out of their winter sleep state and therefore the time to learn about the roles of bats in the wild.
One of the reasons to celebrate Bat Day is their help in humans to get rid of annoying insects. A bat can eat up to 1,000 mosquitoes in one hour.
It is said that the global Corona plague that broke out in December 2019 in Wuhan, China and continues to this day, is the result of eating bats infected with the SARS-COV-2 virus. To the extent that this is true, the bats cannot be blamed because they should not have been eaten in the first place. There is enough other food and the bats should be allowed to live in peace in their areas without harming them.
