Humans stay the same wether we talk about reality or in the Tokyo Ghoul universe. They're on top of the animalkingdom, followed by Ghouls right behind them.

So there is this little historically accurate story about humanities first maritime voyage. They stranded on what is now known as Australia and within a certain amount of years 90% of the fauna & flora went extinct, while it had flourished on that exact place for over hundred thousands of years, yet mankind sets foot on their newfound home and it all turns into nothingness.

A human is weak, so humans being scared of almost everything around them is a genetic trait that's been with us since prehistoric times. Over the years of us dominating Earth another trait or belief mixed itself in there, which is that we are special and superior. So above being easily frightened or threatened, we now have a pride as well that can't swallow not being on top anymore, which is why our automatic response is: ERADICATE THE THREAT. No matter how little it may be, be it a beehive or lone wolf that lost it's way into civilization. It will be put down.

We have megalomania or a god-complex. Ironic considering we expect god to help us out at every turn and make sure our lives are always full of happyness, yet we are angry because it's the complete opposite. Welp i'm sure animals would feel the same if they could think & feel as complex as we can do it. We are their gods, but our purpose is not solely to make animal-life into a paradise. A bit of philosophical anthropomorphism to occlude my comment.
