Slowing down the animal misery: SUST is tackling it sustainably

Hundreds of thousands of street dogs and cats fight for survival in many countries, countless of them are trapped and many of them vegetate in terrible conditions, while new unwanted offspring are constantly being born. The suffering of unwelcome dogs and cats is endless in many countries.
Neutering is the only way to reduce the overpopulation of street animals in a long-term and animal-friendly way. Thousands of dogs, cats and other animals have already been operated on by the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation in various countries. This measure has prevented countless unwanted offspring from being born. Such actions have a future: no more emaciated mothers on the streets, no more famine and no more sexually transmitted diseases, in which the animals die miserably.
 
If the number of street animals is reduced, no more cruelty to animals will be tackled: no more poisoning, no more slaughtered animals, no more shooting. In this way the animal misery is slowed down, slowly but steadily and sustainably.
 
The area of the pillar "neutering campaigns" includes:
 
- Collaboration with veterinarians all over Switzerland for cat neutering campaigns
- takeover of the neutering costs of stocks from farms and feral groups
- Rental of cat and dog traps
- Brochure "Cat neutering = active animal protection
- informing the population about this topic by posters and leaflets
- Discussions with authorities and politicians
- Training and further training of specialized personnel for the execution of neutering campaigns
- Implementation of neutering weeks in various countries by SUST teams
- Financing of neutering campaigns in different countries
 
The activities of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation are financed exclusively by donations and legacies (no public support).
 
Donate for the spay/neuter campaigns of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation
These many operations are very effective, but cost a lot of money and therefore we need your help and support: Give hope and instead of the usual gifts, give one (or more) animal (s) the hope for a better life! A neutering gives an animal many advantages and does no longer contribute to the overpopulation of unwanted animals.

Hedgehog patient with severe burns

April 2023

This female hedgehog was admitted to the wildlife rehabilitation center "Luana's Dream" in Bucharest, Romania, in mid-March with severe burns. After intensive treatment, the little animal slowly recovered and gained weight.
Although he is already much better, he will not be able to be released into the wild this year. It will take a long time for his spines to fully regenerate. And without its spines a hedgehog is defenceless against predators.
Even though this is a case from Romania, it could just as easily be from Switzerland. Please look out for small creatures the next time you burn garden waste or otherwise light an open fire!
SUST has been supporting the wildlife rehabilitation center "Luana's Dream" in Bucharest for many years. It is one of the few institutions in the country dedicated to the rescue, rearing and release of injured and orphaned wild animals.
