Blind as a Bat? (Highlights) - 1955

This "Moody Institute of Science" film (heard of them, yes?) glorifies the only flying mammal, our very own BAT. Highlights include the rather disturbing "blindfolding" and muting of an orphaned baby bat by taping its little eyes shut and tying its mouth together for the purpose of testing whether or not the little creature is truly blind. A must-see (no pun intended) for PETA fans! Take note of the "moral and spiritual value" provided at the end of the film, remarking that "the radar equipment of the bat is demonstrated in such a way that...[one] is brought to a place of questioning -- whose intelligence provided this unusual mechanism?"

how is this cruel? no bat died. or was injured. it just flew into the wall. COMON if u think thats cruel you seriously have to get out more. there is sooo much worse things people are doing to animals. this was a simple experiment. oh & by the way Evolution is retarded. no animal evolves just changes variation. like humans. ones a giant 7 ft tall another 3. ones xtrme hairy another hairles some peple walk on all 4s & even the wolf family in mexico. yet they are all man. differnt but yet the same

No "intelligence" was involved, it was simple evolution... And why can't humans take their *censored* curiosoty and shove it up their *censored* instead of subjecting poor creatures to thir cruel experiments!?
