Volsung, I do remember the source of what you're saying about the Glukkons being jealous of the Mudokon's moon-print: it was on one of the older versions of the official Oddworld website, back when Abe's Exoddus was the newest game and the site had that vacuum-cleaner sounding background music.
I think the argument that the Glukkons see the Mudokons as animals, rather than "people", is strengthened by the fact that Rupture Farms was planning to turn them into FOOD. In spite of any superiority the Europeans felt over the various native civilizations they conquered, I don't believe they ever ate them (barring any Donner party type situations). To see a race as a viable food source is to see them as worthless animals, as I see it.
Also, as far as the Magog Cartel propaganda, do we know the audience those news-flashes were intended for? They were played over those screens that Abe puts his paw on, so perhaps those programs are intended for the Mudokons, hence the rosy spin about the slaves being given "jobs". The Glukkons may well watch their own types of programming that better reflects their true attitude.
