Study found bat carcasses used in unusual ways on Etsy , eBay , and Amazon listings.
Kerivoula picta, also called the painted woolly bat, is listed as “near threatened” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature .
eBay prohibits the sale of all bats, “whether live, dead, or taxidermy”.
Bats play important roles in the wild, like dispersing seeds, pollinating plants, and controlling pest populations.
Conservation groups ask well-meaning bat enthusiasts not to purchase any items containing real bats, bat parts, or skeletons.
There are also plenty of faux bats on the market to collect.
