You will no longer see the presence of bats at the Oddities & Curiosities Expo. In this day and age, Indonesian bats are being killed at alarming rates for the sake of art/collecting, etc. As we began to notice the increased popularity in bats, we started to do some extensive research on the topic and as we dug deeper and deeper, we grew more and more upset by the reality that is buying/selling Indonesian bats. We work hard to ensure our vendors are buying through sustainable sources, but the sad and unfortunate truth is that many (Indonesian) bats are no longer sustainably sourced - legally imported or not. Many people were completely unaware of this growing issue and all we can do now is educate those unaware and continue to make improvements and changes over time. Not all bats sold are Indonesian and sourced this way, but we found it best to remove bats completely.
We hope you all understand why we are making this stance. The bat mounts, shadow boxes and art that you may already own are amazing pieces and truly memorialize these beautiful and interesting creatures. Many people (buyers and sellers alike) had no idea of the issues revolving around this topic. We wish it wasn’t this way, but at this point we no longer want to contribute. Because of these facts you will no longer be able to purchase real bats at our shows.
