Vampires are predators and parasites. They kill whomever they feed on. They don't respect a human's right to live. But no vampire wants all their prey to just suddenly all die and be gone. The object isn't to just kill people. Vampires know that if you kill all of the people, then vampires will also die. This makes vampires, who are monsters, better than the average gazillionaire.
@Florence A lesser evil, to be sure.
@ToolPackinMama Vampires don't need to kill their food if they're disciplined enough.
@nevikjames Neither do gazillionaires, hypothetically
@ToolPackinMama
In “The Passage”, the imprisoned studied creatures (vampires) never killed the last rabbit. Eat 9, 10th kept alive.
@Anouk They should have kept 2 alive, one male one female.
@ToolPackinMama
Agree! A flaw in writing.

@ToolPackinMama You've sold me on this. I'll vote for the vampires!
