Should vampire bats be killed or protected and research? Vampire bats could lead to many technological and biological breakthroughs, but they can spread rabies and attack humans and cattle. These creatures should be studied, not put to death. This is because they help us through many technological and biological discoveries as mention in Los Angeles Times’ article “ Vampire bat debate: To kill or not to kill” on paragraph 15,” Bats have developed a radar system that can distinguish the tiniest insect in the middle of a dense bush in dead night” said Todd Capson, Smithsonian staff scientist...( keeping)...”It’s inconceivable there isn’t something to learn from that” This supports my reason as something like this could improve radars and could give it new uses.

With little to no pollination, plants would die causing havoc in the ecosystem and kill food production. This would cause worldwide famine and animals would also die. As well as insects would be everywhere as there is nothing stopping them. Even though vampire bats have many benefits, they’re responsible for rabies outbreaks or are they? A report from the CDC in Atlanta, GA stated that non-vampire could also responsible as said here,” Among 165 from 6 genera and 10 species, 10.3% were antibody positive; antibody prevalence was similar, in vampire and non vampire bats may also be a source for human rabies in Peru.” For this reason if want to kill vampire because of their rabies, we would kill other bats since they may have rabies to which would be impossible and be very negative. Thus, vampire bats should not be killed, but regulated and
