Help animals

The activities of SUST

All over the world, countless animals in overcrowded shelters live sadly or struggle for their survival in wild colonies. Day after day, even today, animals that have become inconvenient are still abandoned, deported or mistakenly kept for lack of better knowledge. The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation contributes with effective means to the fact that animal suffering can be reduced or even prevented sustainably.

This animal welfare work is based on four pillars:

1. Competence Centre Animal Shelter: Animal shelters become high-quality transition stations for homeless animals, where animals are kept and promoted in a way that is appropriate for their species and finally transferred to good new places.

2. Neutering campaigns: Braking the animal misery

3. Education and training of specialists: Specialists are given the opportunity to optimise their knowledge and improve animal welfare.

4. Education of the population: love of animals with heart and mind

These four elements form the important basis for sustainable animal welfare projects.

Those animals that are not yet able to benefit from the effects of this reconstruction work and have been born into a world where they are not wanted need the emergency aid of SUST.

Capybara rescued!

October 2022

Capybara in distress!
This poor capybara was discovered by animal lovers in a terrible situation: chained to a short rope that had already rubbed his skin raw, without access to clean water or food, left in the middle of trash.
We don't know his history, but we suspect he was kept as a pet until he was too old and impractical for that. Capybaras are often kept in adverse conditions as "cuddly pets" until they grow up and are no longer suitable for that - because they are wild animals.
This young male was taken to the SUST Animal Orphan Hospital in Peru as soon as possible after he was found, in order to examine how bad his condition really was.
Here it was determined that he had been lucky once again: he was dehydrated, emaciated and scared, but we are cautiously optimistic that with good care he will soon perk up again. We have named him Basco.
We hope for the best for him and with a little luck we will soon be able to introduce him to Bronco - a young capybara that arrived here a few months ago. Then he would have found not only a new, nice home but also a new friend.
