Is Bob Dole in the Dark with Bats?

By Lila of Bank Street School For Children, NYC.

This year in the presidential elections we have two candidates: Bob Dole, a Republican, and Bill Clinton, a Democrat. Both have very different opinions on different topics. Since animals have such a big affect on our world, how would animals feel about the two candidates? How would different animals feel about the two candidates? Who would a bat vote for if he/she had the ability to take part in the election? Let's see who they would vote for from looking at the bat's natural habits.

The bat is an endangered species. That would mean that the bat would definitely vote for Bill Clinton. This is because Democrats in general are much more supportive of endangered species and preserving the environment. Republicans on the other hand, feel that the industrial world should come before the environment. Unfortunately, Republicans do not realize that nature can contribute to the industrial world without having to be destroyed. Maybe if Bill Clinton is re-elected, he can improve the status of bats. If only one of the bat's adaptations was the ability to vote, maybe then, they would be in better shape as a species.
