454 R Sollund Species listed in Appendix I are threatened with extinction, and usually banned from trade Species listed in Appendix II are vulnerable, and trade must be controlled in order to avoid utilization incompatible with their survival Species listed in Appendix III are those of whom the trade is under surveillance upon demand from a country where it is vulnerable CITES requires that the individual who is trafficked is accompanied by the necessary export (re-export) and import certificates (CITES n.d.) Before I turn to the pet trade and trafficking, I will briefly discuss some relevant terminology I begin with the word ‘animal’ There are difficulties in applying this word because of its speciesism and othering effect; it creates a gulf between the human animal and animals other than humans (Derridá 2002), as if ‘the others’ were one category The term ‘nonhuman’ is also sometimes used, but it implies the other animals are simply the negation of what it is to be human, which is also alienating The term ‘aota’ for animals other than human animals has been suggested, but as I find it stylistically poor, and therefore, for lack of a better alternative, I will use the word ‘animal’ unless the species (or category) of the animal in question is of special interest or known This chapter is based on an ongoing research project2 in three locations, Norway, Colombia, and Brazil, in which I am using a number of different methods including documentary analysis of approximately 50 Customs confiscation reports, in this case of seized animals.3 Because the chapter is about how trafficking victims are killed after being seized by the authorities in Norway, I could refer to their deaths merely as ‘animal killings,’ yet the act of killing an individual of any animal species, whether willful or unintentional, is equally harmful for the victim whether he/she is human or nonhuman As a remedy, Beirne (2014) offers the term theriocide for such acts ‘Theriocide’ refers to those diverse human actions that cause the deaths of animals Like the killing of one human by another (e.g., homicide, infanticide and femicide), theriocide may be socially acceptable or unacceptable, legal or illegal It may be intentional or unintentional It may involve active maltreatment or passive neglect Theriocides may occur one-on-one, in small groups or I am grateful to The Norwegian Animal Protection Fund for contributing financially to the research project on which this chapter is based The project is part of an EFFACE project, funded by the FP7, EC See http://efface.eu/ I don’t have the total overview of confiscation reports that may be included in penal cases yet These are the ones provided to me directly from the Customs directorate
