I always understood this song as if Metallica is talking about humanity as a whole. The humans are ruining the Earth in many ways.
It's not really about the environment, nor is it really about animals or humans that are being hurt for no reason whatsoever. It is about everything we do, as a whole. A monster is not a monster because of what things it has done, a monster is a monster because of its nature.
It's very unclear, I am not sure if anyone would ever understand what I mean with this, I think it is probably just a very personal look on things too. It is fine that everyone looks at this differently, I guess. What's important is that you enjoy the song. It speaks truth, in combination of perfect instrument use, combination, perfect stereo sounds, I really love it :)
