I heard about this in one of the MER managers (The MER is a back room at Mission Control, the Mission Evaluation Room where safety, comm and track and many other specialists support “the front room”). They were actually pretty bummed about the bat being killed and had taken steps to encourage it to leave before liftoff to no avail.
