I don't think Saki saw them as equals, but she was sympathetic to them. I recall Saki saying to Satoru but they are just animals, they think differently from us.
I do think Saki thought of the monster rats as lesser creatures, but not ones that should be treated cruelly.
I suppose you can say Saki might have treated them better than other humans, but there was still a bit of arrogance in her thinking.
But I do agree with your larger point about the monster rats not being in the right here either.
On another note if I had to pick two stories this reminds me most of is a mixture of
Planet of the Apes &
The Birds
