I desire my Dorfs to be rather inhumane (more than they already are) little bastards totally willing to butcher and consume all their enemies, and turn goblins into (goblin bone bolts).

What is the exact text file (raw-objects-???) to access, and what is the exact line I want to change to make this blood thirsty switch happen?

You must generate a new world for this to take effect.

Alter your dwarf fortress folder/raw/objects/entity_default.txt. The specific lines are the ones that say [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_KILL:UNTHINKABLE] and [ETHIC:EAT_SAPIENT_OTHER:UNTHINKABLE] between the lines that say [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] and [ENTITY:FOREST] (these also happen to be the first instance of those lines). Change the part that says UNTHINKABLE to ACCEPTABLE for both.

In the future, such questions should probably be directed to the modding forum, as you're asking how to mod the game.

Awesome, thanks.

And I didn't want to post this in modding, since it seemed SO BASIC. But thanks for the advice anyway.

Oh, and I would recommend generating a world completely normally first, then changing the entity raws in the SAVE folder.  Otherwise your may have problems generating a world with Dwarves in it since Humans will declare war on you, and Goblins may be considered friendly for war purposes (but may still raid you after embark).

So generate the world as standard "nice guys", then cheat the system after you've generated the world already.

I'm 99% sure this wouldn't work, as ethics are assigned to civilizations when the civilization is generated, so altering what ethics would be assigned after the generation process is complete would be ineffective.

You have to generate a new world for the entity changes to work. Wars with humans might happen, but rarely kills all the dorf civs. And as long as you don't have babysnatcher they will trade with you as usual if you aren't at war with that particular human civ.
