True.

We also know the letters of apology are really meant to be for THE BATS as well!

...DSE manager of biodiversity Mark Winfield...

Sounds like a character from Animal Farm. Wonder what the qualifications are for that job?

It all sounds a bit "Monty Pythonish" if you ask me.

Actually, I don't have a problem with her. But I do think that the whole 'letter of apology' thing is lame as punishment-- Raise the fine $50.

If they were really firing at the bats, I'd say they deserve a hefty fine.

I wish they had hair spray (that I could afford) when I was making potato guns.

Mr Robinson said the stunt was unlawful but not criminal I'm a little fuzzy on the explanation here.

Good think they were not firing kumquats!

Kumquats are held to be WMD in certain fruit-propelling devices.

Yeah... Shoot. In the 70's we were using two tennis ball cans, a funnel, a Fosters beer can (combustion chamber), and duct tape...

With the correct propellant and fuel/air mix, 150 - 250 ft. wasn't uncommon using tennis balls....

Propane works better, and you can meter it out so each shot is consistant.
