Bat hotline

When you call an ambulance because somebody is dying you expect the emergency people to pick up the phone. This is not always the case I have heard, not even if you live in a "western" country, especially not up North where they are lucky if an ambulance shows up at all . It is different here in Switzerland. Here we have an emergency hot-line to call if we happen to find a sick bat. What are the odds? Well, apparently in suburbia it happens. Friend of mine found one, actually her cat did, walking into her house with the bat in his mouth. She retrieved it, called the hotline who told her to put it outside for an hour, then if it was still there, bury it (well actually they said they would come and pick it up later). Luckily (?) the bat was gone before his/her hour was up. A bat hotline? I'm so happy to live in Switzerland...
