No way. Predation benefits the symbiont and harms (kills) the host, or prey. In parasitism, the host may not die, but the symbiont still lowers the host's fitness by, for example, leeching nutrients or blood off of the host. Mutualism is when both the host and symbiont benefit.

Bloodsucking is a form of predation or parasitism; plenty of non-demonic animals have adopted it as a lifestle. The vampire bat is probably the most famous, but there are also blood-eating finches, and of course leeches and mosquitoes as well as horseflies, ticks, chiggers and all manner of microscopic critters. The best-known of the purely demonic bloodsuckers is the chupacabra, which, as it's Spanish name indicates, specializes in goats.
