To compartmentalize is to use labels in making it easier to treat someone bad and seem less human. I say this term applies to animals. If someone were to say they had to hit an animal for misbehaving it sounds way better than saying you had to hit a baby for misbehaving. This is how I would compare the term to it's usage with people of different races. This kind of labeling makes certain groups seem inferior or inhuman so it is easier to treat them poorly.
