That's part of the theme, neither both side was wrong, but neither both side was right. The huamsn were trying to  make better lives for themselves while sacrificng the forest and innocent animals in the process, and the animals were trying to preserve their own way of life by sacrificing innocent humamns in the process. This stirred hatred on both sides and that escelated the situation out of control. Hatred and what it caused was the true "villain" of the movie. It turned Nago and Okoto into demons. It was the reason Ashitaka got cursed. It was the cause for the war. It was the reason the Spirit of the Forest went on a rampage. They all had to let go of hate and embrace peace otherwise they woud have destroyed themselves.

And in San and the wolves' defense, they didn't go after innocent people, just the humans that were tearing down their home. Case and point, when Ashitaka first met San, she and the wolves let him go, simply demanding that he leave. They could have easily killed him, and had all the right to; he was in their territory, and they were probably pissed off that Moro had just goten shot. But they recognized that he was not with the other humans and was not a threat, so they let him go with a warning. That's not to say all the animals shared their morals. I'm sure the boars would have killed him on the spot had he run into them. Heck, they wanted to, but he was protected at that time.
