I suppose what is good and what is bad is very much relative to your viewpoint. From a human vantage point we have a vested interest and a genetic imperative of reproduction and self-preservation.
I would guess-estimate that, if given the choice and the cognition, bats would likely also choose to self-preservate to the detriment of Humans.

As we can see with 7+ billions people on earth (or lemmings) too much reproduction threatens self-preservation, hence my previous comment.
If we take out any emotion and go by pure logic, a virus culling the herd doesn't seem to be a bad thing.
Now I'm like anyone else, I'd rather not be culled but I understand that if we don't find solutions, nature will.
Depends on the method. We’re already hard at work stopping population growth by getting people out of poverty. Very probable that it’ll turn into population decline in a few decades.
If you rationalize it like this, then why is it bad to slightly reduce human population?
