Leeches have very limited defensive capacities. When they attach themselves to some other creature, they do so in a place where that creature may not notice or may not be able to reach them. And while swimming freely, they can swim away if necessary - but they do not have very high intelligence, so they won't necessarily be able to identify a threat. Like many primitive organisms, they reproduce rapidly and the species can survive even if there is a high death rate due to predation.
