They're both so awesome. In their scene in this episode you could just see the sparks fly between the two characters. (Not like that!)

What would you have them do, though? This is the only life they know. This is where their home is, where their parents are. They don't have to like the system but they have no choice but to live in it - Saki, especially, knows the rationale behind the cruelty, so while she doesn't like it (I don't think anyone likes it) she has to accept it.

They don't resemble the human beings that Saki et al are, though, partly due to their vastly different way of life and way of thinking, and partly by virtue of their appearance. As disturbing as it may be, this is the general mentality of a slave-keeping society, made easier to sustain by the fact that bakenezumi are, well, bakenezumi. And to Saki, in particular, they're beings she hates and distrusts due to her experiences with them.

But for what it's worth, she didn't dispose of anyone. They killed each other in battle. (Also, disposing of bakenezumi is not her job, it's what Inui's department does.)
