It helps convey the tone by stating that the Hutu's saw the Tutsis as below them, and therefore taking their lives would be equivalent to taking the life of an animal, as many hunters do for sport. Basically, they are comparing the Tutsi people to animals and saying that their lives are less valuable.
Well analyzing your fears could make them worse not better, if you focus on the audience's response you're more likely to overreact or over analyze, concentrating on the message takes your mind off the fact that you are scared, thinking about how to change your feelings wont do much good because your giving the fear more attention than it needs, visualizing success creates an opposite thought, meaning your brain moves in another direction thats away from the fear.
Hope this helps :)
