I was chased by a bat at Gasson basement!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Idk if my previous post went through, but there was a bat who looked drunk and lost flying at Gasson basement and bumping into the doors! At first, I thought it was a sparrow, but it turned out to be a bat! I meant to let this poor thing out, but it started to chase after me! Ahhh! What\u2019s the best way to approach the situation? I didn\u2019t want to call BCPD and didn\u2019t want anyone to kick me out of Gasson! Should I go get check-up by a doctor? Would I get a new strain of COVID? I don\u2019t want to be known for spreading a new wave of the pandemic! Or, would I become a Batman? Do you know if it spreads disease? It looks quite cute though! :p<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a cute little bat! I&#8217;m sure it would be happier outside; echolocation must be really confusing indoors. It seems unlikely you&#8217;d catch anything from a bat just being in a room with it. I hope someone was able to get it outside. One of my assistants has used the towel technique (throw a towel on it, then bundle it up to carry it outside), but I don&#8217;t suppose towels are readily at hand in Gasson. If you see another bat in a BC building, try calling the BCPD non-emergency number (617) 552-4440.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Well that\u2019s the dilemma! I would really hope that helping a bat is captured under the help-seeking policy at BC since I feel like BCPD really likes to send me to student conduct! \ud83d\ude41 \ud83d\ude15 But the towel trick sounds nice! I\u2019d love to hold that cute little thing. \ud83d\ude42 And yes I know where to find a towel in Gasson&#8230; I know lots of secret spots on campus lol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many good samaritan efforts are generally covered under the &#8220;better to ask for forgiveness than permission&#8221; policy in the world at large. I&#8217;m glad you know where to find a towel. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re an important resource for other students in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idk if my previous post went through, but there was a bat who looked drunk and lost flying at Gasson basement and bumping into the doors!
