Thinking deeply, it's in essence, racism. Treated as animals, yet they aren't, just as blacks were before in the real world. Though the extent it's gone on in Oddworld is as bad as it gets. Treated like animals to the extent of them being hunted as trophies.
Whether this was a very widespread thing, whether old tradition or started by Sekto (the fact he's controlling a Steef himself is rather interesting), we can't be sure at present.
