The bats were there first and they surely didn't ask for WNS!

Nature will just have to run its coarse. Nothing wanted this to happen and who really knows how it started, how its going to end and who is responsible for the spreading of it. Maybe we need to genetically modify some bats that will be resistant to WNS and spread those bats to the infected areas.

About 10% are already resistant. Now they just have to figure out why.

Nature is already working the problem out.
