Well, she should thank the monster after she gets rid of it. She's just been handed on a platter the golden chance to save the people who had been down on her and be the heroine, fending off her ill fate by a little more. Dunno why so many people think she shouldn't save them; from a practical, Machiavelli standpoint getting to be the saviour is the perfect situation, and even aside from that--so OK, they're dim and annoying and were sniping at her, but where would we be if we handed schoolkids the death sentence for being annoying little twits? It'd solve the overpopulation problem, that's for sure.
