作为一种缓解人兽冲突或控制疾病的手段，捕杀蝙蝠种群是否合理或有效，这是最近毛里求斯政府捕杀濒危毛里求斯狐蝠（黑翼狐）的行动重新浮出水面的一个问题（IUCN 2015）。澳大利亚政府也曾呼吁扑杀果蝠，以应对作物受损和亨德拉病毒的爆发（Walker and Nadin 2011），这强调了迫切需要一种更强有力的、基于科学的方法来指导野生动物管理。在这里，我回顾了证据，并认为捕杀蝙蝠种群不是缓解与水果种植者冲突的有效手段，也不是降低人畜共患疾病风险的可能性的有效手段。
Whether it is justified or effective to cull populations of bats, as a means for mitigating human–animal conflict or controlling disease, is an issue that has recently resurfaced with moves by the Mauritius government to cull a population of endangered Mauritius flying foxes (Pteropus niger)(IUCN 2015). Similar calls for fruit bat culls by the Australian government in response to crop damage and outbreaks of Hendra virus (Walker and Nadin 2011) underscore the urgent need for a more robust, sciencebased approach to guide wildlife management. Here, I review the evidence and argue that culling of bat populations is not an effective means to mitigate conflict with fruit growers, nor to reduce the likelihood of zoonotic disease risk.
