I'm not bothered by them; a lot of it is stigma I think but the fact that they are large, flying mice is enough reason for many along with the fear of rabies and the possibility of getting one tangled in one's hair.

Mice are scary and ones that you don't get to see very often except when they fly past you brushing your face are freaky. Bats are dusty and associated with dark places and vampires in movies which are the only place people really get to form an impression of them. People generally fear the unknown. I like bats, but then again we had a lot living near us while I was growing up so I got used to them, also I went to the zoo and they had one of those bat caves where there were 100's of them flying about and that demystified them for me.

Because of the way they look. Just like people are scared of mice.
