Not any more.........
Although this seems bizarre consider the following
In WWII tests were being carried out in the New Mexico(?) desert trying to attach incendiary bombs to BATS, with the intention being to ‘parachute’ them over Tokyo and take advantage of the many thatched roofs.
Supposedly there were several forest fires in the Southwest and on West Coast as a result of testing this idea.
In the Book called “Bat Bomb” written by a Jack Couffer, the plan was spelled out and also an explanation was given that in time of war many supposedly idiotic things like this are tested because of influence the ‘dreamer’ had with officials etc...
When I read this earlier... poor kitties! :-(
