Whatever country this was filmed in, I assume there is no protection for bats. Which is sad, because as V says, they are an extremely important part of the ecosystem, especially when it comes to managing flying insect populations.

The roofers probably killed them anyway - they were forced out of their home during conditions where it would be difficult for them to orientate themselves. That many bats trying to find a safe haven in daylight? It's not good news.

Oh and rabid bats? Less than 1% of the bats in the US are infected.
They are maligned and misunderstood and useful creatures.
And they wouldn't be invading human spaces if we'd left their environment intact.

Just saying.
