Education and Training

Education and training of specialists

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation's guiding principle is "Let's tackle the root of the problem". In addition to the optimisation of animal shelters and neutering campaigns in Switzerland and many other countries, the training and further education of veterinarians and animal protectionists is an important pillar of this philosophy: The SUST veterinary training courses are known for their quality and efficiency.
 
Animal welfare activists learn elementary principles for the handling and care of animals and for the management of animal shelters, veterinarians are brought up to date with the latest neutering techniques by internationally recognized colleagues and experience new and important things for the implementation of such campaigns.
 
This lays the foundation for further successful neutering campaigns to meet the quality standard demanded by SUST: This means that countless unwanted young animals do not have to be born and suffer in the first place. It has been proven that the overpopulation of dogs and cats can only be contained in the long term and animal-friendly by neutering campaigns.

This is what we have set ourselves the goal of our animal welfare work: the problem is being tackled at the root!

The pillar "basic and advanced training of specialists" includes

- Courses at the SUST Academy
- Veterinary training in different countries

Bats are common patients....

March 2023

Bats are to blame for the existence of the wildlife rehabilitation center "Luanas Dream" near Bucharest. 9 years ago, they were among the first wild animals to be rehabilitated and nursed back to health by courageous professionals. They laid the foundation for one of the few institutions in Romania that takes care of the rescue and reintroduction of injured and orphaned wild animals.
SUST has been supporting "Luanas Dream" for many years and has contributed a great deal to turning the once small station into a professional wildlife rehabilitation center.
Bats are still among the patients at the wildlife clinic, although not as frequently. These 40 Greater Evening Swifts were rudely awakened from their hibernation when "their" tree was cut down in a park in Sibiu. They are currently being expertly cared for at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center until they are released back into the wild - as soon as temperatures are consistently above 10 degrees.
