BATS IN THE BRA

Just came across a report on the BBC website here in which a teenage girl found a bat in her bra. She removed it. Can this be right? I was under the impression that if you found bats in your attic you had to give them full possession and not disturb them under pain of instant death. The little critters are, like great crested newts, protected. If I find a bat in my knickers can I kill it, defenestrate it, declare it homeless or do I have to keep it warm and cosy forever.
