According to Haslam , the animalistic form of dehumanization occurs when uniquely human characteristics ( e.g. , refinement , moral sensibility ) are denied to an outgroup . People that suffer animalistic dehumanization are seen as amoral , unintelligent , and lacking self-control , and they are likened to animals . This has happened to Jewish people during The Holocaust , and indigenous people subject to colonization and slavery . While usually employed on an intergroup basis , animalistic dehumanization can occur on an interpersonal basis as well
