I feel like it's extremely wrong to look back fondly of and respect someone that partook in harming an innocent animal, much less make jokes about it.

Last I heard, the story was that it was a live* bat somebody had thrown on stage, and Ozzy thought it was a prop. Went to bite the head off for the crowd, and found a nasty surprise.

Um yeah... the thing is gonna be squeaking and flailing in your hand, hard to think it's not real.

Ozzy is a legend...he deserves respect.

Go watch Spinal Tap and rethink who deserves your respect. But hey, for all we know, your respect isn't worth much, so whatevs.
As for being a legend, it's all marketing. Ozzy's actually a right proper b******--go read up on what he did to Bob Daisley sometime. Daisley wrote the music and lyrics for Ozzy's first two solo albums, got shafted by getting only co-writer cred and then shafted again over royalties, and oh yeah, Ozzy had Bob's parts on those albums re-recorded for rerelease so he wouldn't have to continue paying Bob for music he wrote and Ozzy still makes a ton off of. And don't even get me started on the drug and booze circus Ozzy was running on his tour that resulted in Randy Rhodes getting killed. (Full disclosure: I'm an accomplished guitarist, although retired now due to disability. I know people who knew Randy. Ozzy is trash.)
As for the bat nonsense, Ozzy himself admits what an asinine thing that was. He claims he thought it was a rubber bat--he probably was drugged/drunk out of his mind so who knows what he was thinking--and that he had to get rabies shots at the ER afterwards. It's Darwin Award worthy, tbh. What a hero.

It was, and he had to be treated for rabies afterwards.

"When it comes to carrying viruses that can jump to other species — so-called "zoonotic" viruses — bats may be in a class of their own. The flying mammals are reservoirs for more than 60 viruses that can infect humans, and host more viruses per species than even rodents do"
The 2002 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and the 2012 outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome have been traced to have an origin in bats
filoviruses are responsible for fatal hemorrhagic infections in humans and monkeys. These include Marburgviruses (MARV) and Ebolaviruses (EBOV).
and many many more if you want to look
