Hockey Player Kills Bat During Game (Video)
Bats just can't win for losing these days. It seems like anytime they wander onto a sports field and interrupt play, the players and officials kill them and remove them so play can continue. Wait, what? You don't see what the big deal is? Well neither do I, but PETA had a hissy fit when Manu Ginobili did it, and they will probably go bananas this time as well.
During a game between the Green Bay Gamblers and the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders, a bat flies onto the ice and play stops. 1 of the Gamblers starts swatting at the bat with a stick trying to catch it, but he is unsuccessful. That's when a second Gambler brings the double-team and the two players knock the thing on the ice with their sticks and then, still using a stick, the bat is passed over to the side where an official with a shovel comes to retrieve it.
I'm not sure exactly what PETA would have us do in these situations, I think it is just their M.O. to wildly overreact to little things. The two Gamblers who were involved in the homicide of the bat were Brian O'Rourke and Christopher Crane, in case PETA puts out a fake arrest warrant.

Hey idiot both those players are CANADIAN playing in the CANADIAN Ontario Hockey League which is located in CANADA. Stop blaming America because you can’t vote.
If they’re playing in the ontario hockey league, why are the teams located in Wisconsin?? They’re part of the US Hockey league. Maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to jump the gun.
The teams are located in Green bay wiscsin. I played for the gamblers 2 years back.
Canada is in America.
Canada is not in America get back on your short bus now
your right…Canada is in America…North America but it is not in the United States…and by the way your a fuckin idiot mike someone should pee in your butt.
if you are so much smarter than americans, then you should have been able to read that manu ginobili killed one as well. ginobili is argentinian.
Glad to see it! It’s the “natural” way of things. Hey, this world is VERY organic…PETA? Get over it.
What morons to have to kill the bat!
Fuck you with your overreacting, you can’t kill a life, they deserve a fine or arrest.
hes just puttin it out of its misery cause it didnt die right away you know
Yea what morons for killing it instantly. Too bad it didn’t get caught in a natural way like by an owl, where it can be torn apart slowly.
I don’t know, seems a bit cruel when you look at it. I would probably do the same thing, but not in front of 10,000 people and TV cameras. Would it be ok to whack it with a hockey stick if it was a bird? Or a squirrel? Flying rodents are kind of a gray area.
It would have been just as easy if not easier to just catch the bat with a net and then free it outside. There was absolutely no reason to have to kill it.
You mean free it outside into the late-December Wisconsin night? Yeah, you’re right…that would be MUCH more humane.
Uh… where do you think bats live? They don’t migrate south for the winter you know. There’s a reason they warm-blooded and covered with fur.
this was in the US not Canada, the game was between cedar rapids and green bay but really does it matter where it was at, they killed the bat and got on with the game good for them, fuck you idiots for bitching about them killing an animal, who gives a shit. survival of the fittest
Stupid canadians. Come to America and then show their true colors as pu$$ies.
why does the internet work lik a piece of shiet on the weekends.
Animal cruelty on film, hope they sue him
even thou, if it were a baseball game, it would have been somewhat of irony, bat killed by bat 
ohh man my shit got pwntied, LOL its bat who cares, no one cares, get over it, stop crying, america hate all of you anyways, we win, we killed the bat, try to save it now retards, you cant touch us LOL
Fuckin’ americans, that’s one of the reason’s why the whole world things u guys are suckers.
Fingers crossed for a big tsunami hittin the american coasts this christmas!
cocksuckers!
You think we CARE what you think of us? We ABSOLUTELY don’t care what your opinion of the U.S. is! Wait a minute….checking…Nope, don’t care a bit!
I hope he catches rabies from the bat and suffers horribly.
What a bunch of idiots. Its a fucking bat on the ice, they’re not going to delay the game for an hour to get animal control in there to “Catch it with a net”. Not with 10,000 people waiting. And you America bashers, get the fuck off the internet, go outside, and touch your little ePeen. America is second to none in terms of military power so when the fists start flying we’ll see who comes out on top ; )
I totally agree with your American military comment. People seem to forget what we are capable of. A couple of shuttle missions and we could disable most of the planets global communications. We can have military airpower anywhere in the world in under 72 hrs. The last two (three) wars we’ve fought we’ve had total air superiority almost from the get-go. And if all else fails, we’ve still got enough nuclear subs out there to decimate any country. Plus we have all the natural resources and manufacturing facilities necessary to build all the weapons we’d need. Nobody is ever going to take down the USA.
And if they could hit the bat with a hockey stick, they certainly could have caught it with a net.
all this over a little bat? exactly how did the military get dragged into this?
A bat is not a flying rodent. It’s a flying mammal. It can carry rabies. Anyway, this is much ado about nothing. Mike say “fuck americans”. Well, I say “FUCK YOU, MIKE”.
Did they really have to kill it?
That’s pretty cruel especially as some species of bat are critically endangered.
