However, Part 4 – State of the art in the management of animal genetic resources – is at an early stage of drafting and will thus not be made available to the Working Group. While a number of sections of the Second Report have been reviewed by FAO and external experts, these sections still need to be revised based on the comments received. Review of the remaining sections remains to be arranged. The whole report needs to be further edited to ensure internal consistency and improve readability. The acknowledgements, preface, executive summary and list of abbreviations and acronyms still need to be prepared. It is foreseen that a full draft of the Second Report will be ready in March 2015. This document is printed in limited numbers to minimize the environmental impact of FAO's processes and contribute to climate neutrality. Delegates and observers are kindly requested to bring their copies to meetings and to avoid asking for additional copies. Documents for this meeting are available on the Internet at http://www.fao.org/Ag/AGAInfo/programmes/en/genetics/angrvent.html

  • Discourse and the Oppression of Nonhuman Animals: a Critical Realist Account
    Discourse and the oppression of nonhuman animals: a critical realist account. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of RHODES UNIVERSITY by Leslie Roy Mitchell December 2007 Abstract This work examines the use of nonhuman animals in the farming industry and seeks to understand why this practice takes place and what supports its continuation. The research is approached from a critical realist perspective and after a description of past and current practices in the industry, it uses abduction and retroduction to determine the essential conditions for the continuation of the phenomenon of nonhuman animal farming. One essential condition is found to be the existence of negative discourses relating to nonhuman animals and this aspect is examined in more detail by analyzing a corpus of texts from a farming magazine using Critical Discourse Analysis. Major discourses which were found to be present were those of production, science and slavery which construct the nonhumans respectively as objects of scientific investigation, as production machines and as slaves. A minor discourse of achievement relating to the nonhumans was also present. Further analysis of linguistic features examined the way in which the nonhumans are socially constructed in the discourses. Drawing on work in experimental psychology by Millgram, Zimbardo and Bandura it was found that the effects of these discourses fulfil many of the conditions for bringing about moral disengagement in people thus explaining why billions of people are able to support animal farming in various ways even though what happens in the phenomenon is contrary to their basic ethical and moral beliefs.
