Bored skeletons could shoot bats

Wouldn't it be great if skeletons could be used as pest control?

Since the bats aren't that useful yet, it would be kind of cool if bored skeletons (bored: not fired an arrow for 1200 ticks) would start targeting nearby bats and shooting arrows at them.

Once a skeleton is tracking a bat, the skeleton would ignore human player until bat is dead or out of range.

By implementing this, we would thus achieve two things:

1) Pest control against annoying bats

2) A way to make skeletons (somewhat) ignore players

    Well, Minecraft needs to have a level of challenge in it. How about add that you need to hit the skeleton first to provoke it while tracking a bat?

    This is acually quite a funny idea. But pretty good too.
