:::::Hello, when I have more time, I will elaborate some more. At the moment, I am quite busy, but here are some brief points. In the source used, it does not state that bats are hunted and used as bush meat in North Africa, West, or Central Asia, yet that is stated in this article. In the same source used, it does state that there still exists black markets in Europe. It also has a link to the eating of bats in Paris. This is just based on the source that was already provided here, but the statements are not mentioned in the article. The article also talks about bats being hunted and consumed by Australian Aborigines for thousands of years. I could not find that in the source linked. According to an ecologist: "Archaeological evidence suggests that before the coming of Europeans, Flying Foxes were not often used as food by the Australian Aboriginees. However more recently the habit has become much more common. This undoubtedly reflects the loss of other preferred game animals from the habitat." I am just pointing out what I see as either some content taken out of context or some misinformation written that was not included, or some info not included in the article that was stated in the source. I am also trying to point out the sensitivity when writing about animals or cultures. I do not come from these cultures, but I can see how a reader might be upset by the misrepresentation here, as I have seen people's comments on the bush meat Wikipedia article.
