The "hunters" were justified and under contract by one side of Ingen to go out and capture the dinosaurs and turn them into a new theme park/zoo for San Diego, and on a further note. While the film makers try to make the scene of the dinosaur round up look horrible it is actually the opposite. The dinosaurs (while captured) are treated humanly. Because

1) They use tranq darts, rubber pillows, and harmless safety harnesses to subdue the animals without harm. 2) They keep the animals healthy in their enclosures as the prepare for depature

Further is the fact that many of them are here by paycheck, and are only doing this for a job, and they bare not malicious intend on the animals in general, aside from Roland who wants that trophy.

Nick, or rather, the "green" group go out of their way to ruin the hunters mission, and by consequence. Specifically Nick and Sarah who

1) Open the dinosaur pens, and release them cause untold mayhem, injury, and death 2) Bring a baby rex to their own camp (duh da parent's aren't gonna follow us are they?), and are completely destroy by the t-rex family as well as Eddie being killed for their stupidity 3) When the rex parents attack again Nick disables Roland's gun stopping him from saving countless humans from being killed by a pissed off mother rex 4) Had Nick simply not disabled that gun and allowed Roland to hunt the male t-rex there would not have been a San Diego incident to begin with

But those are my general thoughts. I personally believe that most of the main cast of team A is just morally wrong and could have taken a different route to stop the hunters, and for team B they are mostly innocent by-standards who were thrown into a situation cause the company demanded it with the exception of Ludlow being the main antagonist of that group and Roland being (as you put it) the lovable anti-hero InGen and Ludlow ARE the real antagonists here (again, aside from the raptors who kill 75% of the Ingenese people), because they wanted to start a park to help InGen raise its money, but let me tell you this; has Ingen been corrupt lately?

Well, the hunters were doing this for a job, but they were sent by Ludlow, and Hammond, who was rumored to be the human villain of Jurassic Park, had a change of heart and didn't want the dinosaurs to be in this zoo. Besides, how would you feel if you and a bunch of other people (imagine some of them were kids) were captured by aliens for their zoo on their home planet? Would you feel comfortable with them saying 'Oh, but they are treated humanely and we didn't do anything bad to them'? Same thing as to why you would even strip dinosaurs off of an abandoned island.

Stop treating the T.Rex Family as if they were antagonists, because their child was kidnapped by the hunters, and Ludlow wanted the baby for his park. How cruel for Ingen to separate a baby animal from its parents (come on this is common today).
