Yeah, Toriel's words are really harsh, considering:
 * She left the throne to protect any human that fell down.
 * She assumes that all monsters are out to hurt the protagonist (which they are, initially. Other than Sans.)
 * She hasn't ruled over monsters in (likely) dozens of human generations, since Asriel died... and she obviously took care of all humans before the protagonist.

So, yeah. Her words are really harsh. You'll notice that many of the main cast laughs or smiles as they're dying, and no monster ever begs for their lives. Only Flowey does that. Just a little bit of flavor. ^^'
