Sly and Arnie 'killing thousands of bats'
Evening Standard 24 Jan 2012Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are under fire from animal activists after they woke up one of Europe's biggest colonies of hibernating bats to film their latest movie.
They say the bats may starve in their thousands because the lights and cameras disturbed their winter sleep, leaving them disorientated and confused.
Stallone, Schwarzenegger and their crew entered the Devetashka cave in Bulgaria to film The Expendables 2, due to be screened this summer.

where were government officials? did they apply for the proper permits? killing living things to make a movie--is this a civilized thing to do?

Ummmmmm......and?
Will they be up in arms about insect habitation being disturbed in other locations. Or birds being forced to land somewhere else when big old nasty trucks park by the roadside to film?
When they start dropping dead in droves around them then this will not be the matter of worst case speculation by 'activists' that it is now. Assuming it will happen is just hyperventilating anxiety on steroids!
