Next #CCP attack, during crisis, as usual. #Armed, #organized #men and #boys on #motorcycles with #guns are #invading #CostaRica‘s famous National #Parks to systematically #hunt #bushmeat for sale to #outsidebuyers, including new #CRmenu items like #monkey, not previously hunted
Costa Rica has enough seafood, cattle and chickens to last for maybe forever, if managed. not about hunger. multiple friends who have told me that hunting dogs are flushing wildlife from homes ranches far outside the park, shots fired at all hours, every night, as citizens cower
I have long time guide friends who are crying that there will be no mammals left to show tourists on once famous tours.
Dear @nytimes @cnn @vice @newsroomnz @thescientistllc @businessinsider @bbcnews @LaVanguardia @diariARA @NatureNews @sciencemagazine I suggest to every one of you to carefully and honestly think and reply to a very simple question regarding #bats #conservation #virus & #ethics. 
"A casual family wth 2 lovely children lives in the countryside, near a cave hosting thousands of bats. They never had an issue with them and don't know much about bats... but now they've read your most recent news and headings about #coronavirus. What would they immediately do?"
Let me give my personal view as a bat ecologist "They would probably seal the cave or massively kill as many bats as possible. Some could hopefully escape, but the colony wouldn't definitely be back." But don't misunderstand me. It is 100% logical, and I would have done the same.
