I think you've hit the nail right on the head. It's one of those vicious crimes against life that usually occurs to bigots whose delusions of their own moral superiority won't let them consider genocide.

I'm going to make a prediction: The Faunus are close enough to human that cross-breeding is possible with the offspring being viable (not like mules, in other words). It's just that they look different enough that bigots prefer to think of them as a 'lesser' species to be either restricted or 'educated' for their own benefits.
