Jag har i detta arbete tagit fram en bok för målgruppen barn i 5-7 års åldern sominformerar om hur en slaktprocess går till. Boken ska vara anpassade eftermålgruppen på så sett att de effektivt kan ta upp informationen men utan att bliskrämda av den. Detta är för att öka barns kunskap om matens ursprung.Böcker som hanterar liknande ämnen (döden och jakt) finns men de är skapademed ett annat syfte och förmedlar inte den information som ska kommunicerasmed detta arbete.För att genomföra detta har jag gjort ett studiebesök på ett slakteri för att skapaen grundlig förståelse för hur en slaktprocess går till samt för att identifiera destörsta svårigheterna med att gestalta denna process. Litteraturstudier inom barnsinlärning och psykologi har även genomförts för att kunna anpassa materialet tillmålgruppen.Resultatet utav dessa studier har legat i grunden till mitt förslag på dennabarnbok som beskriver en slaktprocess med målgruppens behov i åtanke. / I have in this thesis produced targeted to children in the 5-7 years of age withinformation about how a slaughtering process works. The book will be adapted forthe target audience in such terms that they can effectively absorb the informationwithout being frightened by it. This is to increase children's knowledge of theorigin of food.Books dealing with similar topics (death and hunting) exist but they are createdwith a different purpose and does not convey the information to be communicatedby this project.To accomplish this, I have made a study visit to a slaughterhouse in order tocreate a thorough understanding of how a slaughtering process works and toidentify the main difficulties in visualizing this process. Literature studies inchildren's learning and phsykologi was also undertaken to adapt the material to thetarget audience.The result out of these studies has been at the foundation for my work on thischildren's book that describes the slaughter process, with the target group's needsin mind.

Carbon dioxide stunning is the most common stunning method for slaughter of pigs in Sweden. For almost twenty years, the disadvantages of the method from an animal welfare perspective have been known. According to the Swedish Animal Protection Act, animals must be protected against unnecessary suffering - this also applies to slaughter. The law stipulates a requirement for stunning when slaughtering animals, with the aim of protecting them from suffering. At the same time, the Swedish Agency for Agriculture has issued regulations approving carbon dioxide stunning - a method that according to scientific research causes the animals suffering. The essay examines the legal status of animals, Swedish animal welfare in general, its emergence and legal development, the purpose and basic requirements of the Animal Welfare Act, as well as detailed regulations regarding slaughter both at EU level and at national level, and compares it with the Swedish Agency for Agriculture´s decision to allow carbon dioxide stunning during the slaughter of pigs. The petition aims to analyse the approval of the stunning method from a legal perspecitve, i.e. its compatibility with other welfare legislation, as well as from an animal welfare perspective, i.e. from the animals´needs and behaviour. Since the knowledge of animal welfare must be the basis for the legal cosiderations concerning Swedish animal protection, the perspectives are brought together in the assessment of whether carbon dioxide stunning should be an approved method in Sweden or not.

Sweden’s animal legislation was adopted in 1988 and is one of the most rigorous legislations in the world. Despite this, Sweden import beef from countries where animal legislation is not in accordance to the Swedish legislation. The meat consumption in Sweden has, just like the importation of beef, increased while Sweden’s own beef production has decreased. The countries Sweden import most beef from are Ireland, Germany and the Netherlands, and Brazil outside of the EU. The purpose of this study has been to compare the legal regulation according to the animal husbandry, transportation and slaughter in the EU and in the respective countries. The comparison has been based on the Welfare Quality®’s assessment protocol, which is based on four main principles: good feeding, good housing, good health and good appropriate behavior. The result indicates that the Swedish legislation is most optimal from an animal welfare point of view. Germany, as well as Sweden keeps a good standard of their national animal legislation. The main differences between Sweden and Germany’s legislation are the regulation about good feeding and anesthesia during surgical procedures and slaughter.

The historical study of Swedish antisemitism in the first decades of the twentieth century, initially became a focal point in the 1990s. Since then, research has, for example, been done on the organized political antisemitism and on antisemitic attitudes that prevailed unreflected in the public discourse. 1937 the Swedish parliament passed a bill that mandated mandatory stunning before slaughter, which in turn outlawed the Jewish slaughter method shechita. If and how, the debate was informed or based upon antisemitic believes has been disputed in previous research. The purpose of this essay is therefore, to investigate how the debate preceding the law of mandatory stunning can be understood. The essays theoretical approach is based on Kenneth L. Marcus further development of Helein Feins definition of antisemitism and on Artur Sandauers notion of allosemitism. The philosopher Slavoj Žižek’s theoretical edifice of the Real, is used as an overarching metatheory in the essay. The essay’s findings are that the different opinions on the issue cannot be placed according to ideological- or party lines. Biased opinions were put forth in the debate that pointed out the jews as strange and inferior vis-à-vis the Swedes, which I understand as allosemitic. Shechita inhabited a central role in the debate and was put under more scrutiny than the other questioned slaughter methods. Based upon Lars M. Andersson I suggest that the distinguishing of shechita from “Swedish” slaughter methods was an integral part in the creation of the modern national identity. The obliged stunning before slaughter became part of the Swedish animal friendliness, which in turn was seen as evidence of Sweden’s high-ranking cultural level. A relationship that still today is represented, in the nationalistic discourse.

To differentiate between bones from sheep (Ovis aries) and bones from of goats (Capra hircus) is a long lasting challenge for zoologists, archaeozoologists and osteologists. Especially considering archaeological remains which are often found fractured and poorly preserved due to taphonomic processes. Zeder & Pilaar’s (2010) and Zeder & Lapham’s (2010) methods of species differentiation has shown promising results when used on bones from modern sheeps and goats. This paper aims to evaluate these methods by exerting them on excavated bones from kv. Apoteket 4-5, a late Viking Age and early Medieval quarter in central Visby. The results have shown that Zeder & Pilaar’s (2010) methods of identifying sheeps and goats with the mandibular teeths and mandibles are unreliable due to disturbances from wear, fragmentation and weak criterias. Results from Zeder & Laphams (2010) methods for post cranial bones shows mixed results considering a pilot study with the implementation of ancient DNA, which was executed att Gotland University during summer and fall 2011. More extensive studies in the future with the implementation of archaeogenetics are planned which can be used to further develop these methods and thus increase the reliabiltiy of the results.In this study 5,3kg of bones were osteologically species identified and analyzed. The results were used to recreate the use of sheep and goats including butchery techniques, animal husbandry and livestock health status with focus on the sheeps and goats in an early Medieval town quarter in Visby. / Att skilja mellan ben från får och ben från get har länge varit en utmaning för zoologer, arkeozoologer och osteologer. Särskilt när ett arkeologiskt benmaterial undersöks eftersom materialet ofta är fragmenterat och sämre bevarat. Zeder & Pilaar (2010) och Zeder & Laphams (2010) metoder för att skilja mellan får och get har uppvisat lovande resultat när ben från moderna får och getter har undersökts. Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utvärdera dessa metoder genom att tillämpa dem på ett arkeologiskt material från kv. Apoteket 4-5 i Visby.Resultatet från analysen visar att Zeder och Pilaars metod för underkäkar och underkäkständer är otillförlitlig på grund av förekomst av slitage, fragmentering och svaga kriterier. Resultatet från Zeder och Laphams metod för postkraniala benslag visar en mer blandad tillförlitlighet om man ser till de jämförelser som har gjorts mot en studie av förhistoriskt DNA som genomfördes på Högskolan på Gotland under 2011 på material från kv. Apoteket 4-5. En mer omfattande studie vilket inkluderar en arkeogenetisk undersökning är planerad i framtiden. Resultatet från studierna ska användas för att utveckla metoderna och på så sätt öka metodernas tillförlitlighet.I undersökningen som ligger till grund för denna kandidatuppsats har 5,3 kg benmaterial från kv. Apoteket 4-5 identifierats och analyserats osteologiskt. Resultatet användes för att återskapa användningen av får och getter och på så sätt erhålla information om slaktteknik, djurhållning och djurens hälsa i ett stadskvarter i Visby under sen vikingatid och tidig medeltid.

Kils slakteri är ett slakteri med stora anor i Värmland. De har sedan nystarten 2010 sakta men säkert vuxit sig större och levererar köttprodukter till olika butiker och inrättningar, men även till gemene man via deras egna charkuteri. Företaget har starka värderingar och arbetar för att skapa en lokal profil där de strävar efter en spårbarhet genom hela kedjan, från uppfödning till konsument vilket skiljer dem från de stora konkurrenterna.   Vi har fått i uppdrag av Kils slakteri att skapa en informationsfilm som ska uppfylla deras önskemål som innebär att öka medvetenheten hos konsumenterna, och att marknadsföra företagets värderingar och budskap till målgruppen på ett så tilltalande sätt som möjligt. Slutprodukten skall ligga uppe på Kils slakteris hemsida och kommer att vara ca 6 minuter lång.   Vi har gjort en kvantitativ enkätundersökning med 100 respondenter ur vår kunds egendefinerade målgrupp. Syftet med enkäten var inte att ta reda på målgrupp, utan snarare att ta reda på vad den existerande målgruppen trodde sig kunna om köttproduktion och konsumtion, samt vad de hade för åsikter och attityder gentemot köttindustrin. Detta gjordes för att vi skulle se vilka punkter som var viktigast att framhäva extra i infomationsfilmen.   Informationsfilmen är uppdelad i fyra olika scener som är sammankopplade i kronologisk ordning. Varje scen berör en av de fyra viktigaste huvudfrågorna för vår kund som är: Djuruppfödning, kötthantering, försäljning/kundkontakt och till sist tillagning av kött. Man får som betraktare följa med genom hela processen, som berättas med hjälp av en kvinnlig berättarröst. Denna röst har även en roll i att knyta ihop de olika scenerna i filmen. Två personer från slakteriet finns även med i filmen där de berättar närmare i detalj om de olika momenten. Den första scenen är på bondgården, den andra i styckeriet, den tredje i butiken och den fjärde och sista utspelar sig i en trädgård där tillagningen sker. / Kils slakteri is a slaughterhouse with great traditions in Värmland. They have grown slow and steady since the reopening in 2010 and they deliver meat products to an array of different supermarkets and institutions, as well as to regular households through their own charcuterie. The company possesses strong values and works towards maintaining a local profile, in which they strive to create transparency through the whole process from breeding of the animals to the finished product for the consumer, which differ from the competitors in the business.   We have been given the task to create an infomercial that will meet Kils slakteris wishes with the film, which is to increase the consumer’s awareness, promote the companies values and reach out with their message to their audiences in the most appealing way possible. The end product will be displayed on their homepage and will be approximately 6 minutes long.   We made a survey with 100 respondents from our clients target audience. The purpose with the survey was not to estimate which people who are a part of the target audience, but to gain knowledge about what the target audience thought they knew about meat production and consumption, as well as to get an insight to what attitudes they had towards the meat industry. We used the answers from the survey as an indicator to which factors that needed most attention in the film.   The infomercial is divided in to four different scenes that are linked together in a chronological order. Each scene concerns one of four main topics which are: breeding, tenderization of meat, sales/costumer contact and last the cooking of meat. As a viewer you get to tag along a journey through the whole process, which is narrated by a female voice who also fills the purpose of binding the scenes together. Two representatives from the slaughterhouse is also present in the film to act as themselves as they talk about the main topics in detail. The first scene takes place at the farm, the second in the slaughter house, the third in the charcuterie and the fourth and last is a cooking scene in a backyard.
