I also wonder why it panned down to the beowolf on the statue when Blake was looking at it. Probably because during those times when The War took place, the faunus were at the same level of a Grimm. Humankind even tried to enclose the Faunus in Menagerie like the way people enclose the animals in the zoo.

Her argument with Weiss ended up with the Schnee Family as the victims and the White Fang as the villains. The Faunus were forced to use violence to survive and as a result, they are not considered lesser beings now, but criminals instead.

So my guess is that Blake looked at the statue and then at the Grimm because no matter what she does, she will be discriminated and reduced to a Grimm in the eyes of humankind, the same reason why she uses the bow.
