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.

++ Campaign-Report November 2022 of our spay and neuter campaigns in Romania++

637 free spays performed in Romania in November

 

Total of Spay and Neuter surgeries in November: 637!

The team:

Dr. Irina Corbu-Rudnic, Dr. Mircea Stefanache, Dr. Ovidiu Rosu, Dr. Ioana Ene, Dr. Mihai Vancea, Dr. Nicoleta Chirica, Dr. Andreea Gontoiu und Dr. Sabina Proca
Vet-students: Delia Lungu, Mada Lixandru, Anca Cruceru und Alina Murgu
Vet-Assistents: George Anghel, Oana Ungureanu, Alex Constantin
and a huge team of volunteers.

Location: Cornu de Jos, Kreis Prahova
Period: 28-29.11.2022
Total number of spays: 153

Local contact: Iulia Burloiu, Asociatia Arca lui Norocel 

When the team was near our spay location, they were welcomed by one of the previously spayed dogs, proudly displaying her ear tag, the sign of a job well done and in which we take great pride. She lives around a gas station, and is a well-known landmark in the community. 

🙂
Everyone knows and likes her, and she is our ambassador for the spay project, everyone commenting how good it is that she’s no longer making more puppies. 

We are truly grateful to have been able to return to Cornu de Jos and see such impressive results in the actual lives of the animals and the community, results which were only possible because you cared and supported us so we could make a difference! Thank you, #teamSUST! 

Location: Ciolpani und Lipia, Ilfov county
Period: 14-15/11 and 16-17/11/2022
Total number of spays: 132 animals (Ciolpani) and 154 animals (Lipia), total of 286 animals

Local contact: CMVI Lilian Banu and repectively Mrs. Dana Mares, Asociatia Armonie cu Natura

Despite Mrs. Mares’ considerable efforts in organizing the campaign so every patient can make it safely to us in terms of transport and surgical appointment times, we still had a patient delivered with a horse and carriage, and cats in cardboard crates, as you can see. 

This is why the transport crates are so important, to ensure the safety of our patients throughout the spaying process, avoiding escaping animals that are exposed to huge risks due to being brought to unfamiliar locations with road traffic. The animals were promptly taken in by our team to be transferred to safer cages. 

 

 

Location: Mănești, Prahova county
Period: 10-11.11.2022
Total number of spays: 198

Local contact: lulia Zamfirescu, Asociatia Arca lui Norocel

As pointed out in previous campaign reports, we had to rally together with Arca lui Norocel to have sufficient crates and transporters at the ready because many people don’t bring their animals in safely due to the lack of an appropriate pet carrier, some bringing them in bags or sacks or even cardboard boxes. We unfortunately need to replenish our stock as soon as we can, as we cannot run the risk of escaping animals that can get lost or run over by cars. 

Overall, this was an extremely successful campaign where we were able to help 163 females, which is a huge benefit to the community, and - unlike many of the more “urban” campaigns, we focused on dogs, helping 101 of them in total. All of this would not have been possible without your kind support, and while we are fully aware of how difficult and arduous the fundraising effort is to help make these events happen, we can only hope and pray that we are able to continue this work moving forward, for as many animals as we possibly can. We are tremendously grateful and proud to be #teamsust!
