What does the police officer think of the girls' story before they arrive at the scene?

there guilty by law                              

Answer and Explanation:

The author shows that human beings as well as bats kill other living beings without mercy, but bats are not hypocrites like humans in creating a war memorial in honor of bats that died in the war that they themselves provoked.

This creates the theme that even though animals show some resemblance to humans, animals are better, because they act according to instinct and are not as conscious as humans to think before their actions.
