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
- Animal welfare seminars in different countries
- ERFA events in Switzerland

Who knows "Mr. X"?

March 2024

"Mr. X" was discovered by his finder in a field in Buttisholz LU on March 8, 204 and brought to the AniCura small animal practice in Sursee. His condition was not good and he stank terribly of pus. The generous finder financed the urgently needed emergency measures out of her own pocket. Because pus was dripping from his ear, the vet discovered an untreated, massive ear infection that would require further surgery. We decided to make this operation possible for "Mr. X" as part of our "SaveMyLife" project, in the hope that the dear little bunny will soon be better.
More information about "SaveMyLife": www.susyutzinger.ch/SUST/SaveMyLife
As the beautiful, cuddly, neutered but unchipped black cat has not been missed by anyone so far, it can unfortunately not be ruled out that he was abandoned due to his health problems.
At this point we would like to point out once again that
- the abandonment of animals is a criminal offense according to Art. 26 Paragraph 1 lit. e TSchG
   (and that the abandonment of sick animals is also a particularly nasty offense)
- keeping pets may involve high costs and
   the purchase must therefore be carefully considered beforehand
- pets should be regularly examined by a veterinarian so that possible
   diseases can be recognized and treated at an early stage
However, if "Mr. X" has run away from his owner and he/she recognizes him/her from the photos, please contact the person who found him/her via the STMZ lost property report: www.stmz.ch/de/333694
Our heartfelt thanks go to
- the AniCura Kleintierpraxis Sursee AG for the favorable conditions- the finder of Mr. X for her spontaneous and selfless action and the good care of Mr. X
- all our patrons for their wonderful support
