Alecto and Amycus Carrow are secretly in love with one another and the frustration at not being able to be together because they are brother and sister caused them to find a different way in which they can take out their passions, in particular the torturing of Muggles and anyone else they perceive as less than/weaker than them. They feel the need to assert their dominance so as to prove there is nothing wrong with them.
Alecto’s declaration that muggles are “filthy like animals” is obviously an attempt to push her own feelings of herself onto another group of people. She feels that her incestuous love for her brother lowers her to an animal-like status, and it is only through destroying others that she is able to feel better about herself.
Neither Alecto or Amycus are 100% loyal to Voldemort as they didn’t search for him after his destruction. They have a sense of self-preservation similar to that of Lucius Malfoy.
