It's more than just the material losses. She's the heiress of the SDC. I'm sure that she was dragged along to every high-profile funeral of an SDC worker murdered by White Fang. She's had a childhood full of weeping spouses and dead-eyed, confused children who've lost one or both of their parents to The White Fang's ideology. With that repeated trauma of seeing extreme suffering of innocents associated with the Faunus liberation movement, Weiss has practically been subconciously programmed to view Faunus and The White Fang in particular as the Devil Incarnate.

The irony is that Blake has probably seen just as much suffering on the other side. That's the thing about war (especially ones that have strong elements of racial conflict): once you reach the level of the front lines, there are no 'good guys' or 'bad guys', just fighting, suffering and the dead.
