Why do you think so? Rabid animals are simply animals who have a disease that is easily curable... And vampirism is a life choice... Mister Hok... can I call you Hydra? Okay, Hydra Vampires were originally created in the Victorian Age to represent everything they disliked at the time i.e. Sex, Gluttony, and Greed (Not that Victorian Age people weren't greedy... However if they had spent more time in technology Historians could've called the Steampunk age not the Victorian) Anyway... With Edison's invention of the film reel a few of the first films were about Vampires... And rabid animals? Rabies is simply a disease that is transfered via mouth to skin contact... Rabies is well almost harmless now that we've discovered a vaccine that you can take if your taken to an Urgent Care afterward...

tl;dr In short Vampirism was accepted in the Voctorian age
