Just like it states that,...
"Remember, the Rules still apply. While your laws allow you to kill a non-human, that doesn't always mean you should. In fact, in many cases, such as with polymorphed critters, it is considered Grief. That said, if you get a law or order demanding that you kill non-humans, it's a totally different story."
You will not get into trouble for treating a cow like a human by default and you will not get into trouble for denying a cow entrance to EVA due to the mutatrance.
I feel like y'all expect there to be some grandé problematic situation but in all the time playing I have not experienced this being a problem either way.
It seems to be handled just like the standard law for borgs to preserve their own existence.
Nobody will BWOINK you for engaging the Vampire with lethal force as a borg even though you are supposed to flee by the default lawset.
Sure we could now argue about changing up the law about preserving ones own existence; but in general I think the laws work as intended and all the 'problems' talked about here are put into these laws by boundaries the players affected force upon themselve.
Relax.
Take a step back.
Just have fun and be considerate be it as a mutatrance or an AI.
In SS13 great stories can unfold; great stories through bad and good situations.
The AI is denying you entrance to the kitchen or bolting you outside of it for hygines sake?
Ask the Captain, MD, RD, HoP or HoS to force the AI to open the kitchen for you...or even just the chef or the bartender.
Player interaction is the key.
And levelling everyone to be the same by default takes some complexity out of it which can be appreciated by players caring about it.
