In a land famous for loving all creatures great and small, one of the smallest-the bat-is not at all 
popular in some historic churches. The furry flying mammals, which are strictly protected by British 
law, like to bring up their little offspring in the ceilings of old churches. But they can make a terrible 
mess of the inside of a church, and have caused irreparable damage to rare medieval paintings, 
carvings, and brass work. The leader of the Movement Against Bats in Churches was quoted as 
saying, "Our heritage itself is an endangered 3pecies when bats move into churches and use them as 
public lavatories day and night."
