Please look up information before reporting that bats are not useful. The potential extinction of America's bats is more than just a conservation issue. During spring and summer bats eat more than half their body weight in insects every night to store up fat reserves for the long winter hibernation. If America's bats die out scientists say the loss to the farming industry would be devastating.
Bats are one of nature's greatest pesticides, while they are awake from hibernation (180 days or so), a million little brown bats will eat - and this is a conservative estimate - in the region of 500 tons of insects. Imagine if all the bats died...our food prices would skyrocket. The cost to farmers for pesticides would increase tremendously. The University of Boston, using a test study compiled over eight counties in Texas, believes the US farming industry will go from spending $1bn a year on pesticides to $9bn.

Do animals help our environment and if so if they were all killed what would happen?
All organisms help control the flow of nutrients throughout our ecosystems. If all the animals were killed, an essential part of this energy flow would be disrupted. This may cause a bottleneck effect where a large number of other organisms would also die. (For more information, look up mass extinctions and energy flow)

There will be no animal to fertilize plants and at all the deadly insects (mosquito, etc.) That's why people out there who think bats are stupid, they're not!
What would happen if humans killed the plants of an ecosystem?
If humans killed ALL plants on earth, we would all suffocate. This is because plants convert co2 (carbon dioxide), which is exhaled by all animals, back into oxygen through photosynthesis. If they didn't convert co2, the earth's oxygen supply would depleat and we would fill the atmosphere with co2, and we would have no oxygen.
Would a chicken die if it ate a worm that was killed with worming medicine?
PoultryTalk's Answer: No, most likely the worms dead so nothing will happen. The only thing that could happen is their could be a reinfestation which all you would have to do is reworm the chicken.
What would happen if you killed god?
This question all depends on your point of view. If you have a religion like Christianity, Judaism or Islam then you believe in one Divine Being and believe that he is invincible, therefore he cannot be killed. If you have a religion like Hinduism or Jainism then you believe in many gods but again, being gods, they are invincible and immortal and cannot be killed. If you are atheist or Buddhist then you believe in no god and therefore a god cannot be killed if he/she does not exist. Long story short, you cannot kill God so nothing would happen because it is physically impossible. In some religions gods have killed gods but mortals cannot kill gods so nothing would happen if you killed god because it wouldn't happen.
What might happen to earth if all the bats suddenly disppeared?
Bats can eat anywhere from 600 to 1000 mosquitoes in an hour. If Bats were to become extinct then the world would become overpopulated with mosquitoes, causing a lot of sickness in humans.
