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.

Successful animal welfare mission in Romania

August 2023

With many wonderful impressions in their luggage, the mission team made its way back to Switzerland on September 1st with a side trip to the SUST-Orphan Wildlife @Wildlife Rehabilitation Center "Luanas Dream" in Bucharest.

The SUST Animal Welfare Helpers team completed other important work during the outreach week of Aug. 28-Sept. 1, 2023, in addition to many cleaning tasks:

 

  • Important precaution: Around 300 shelter dogs and over 100 shelter cats were treated against endo- and ectoparasites this week

  • Coat care is also important: many dogs were intensively brushed these days, some of them even received a summer haircut

  • Donkeys and sheep: "discarded" farm animals also find a new home at the SUST shelter, the enclosures have been cleaned, the hay store replenished

  • Much more than animal welfare expertise: Thanks to technical know-how, further, necessary maintenance work was carried out

  • "Kieser training": several hundred kilos of gravel were shoveled and distributed

  • Perfect cooperation for the welfare of the animals: administration, preparation, anesthesia, surgery and the recovery stations worked together in a highly concentrated manner.

  • Have good experiences with people: countless animals have been cuddled and puppies socialized.

 

The neutering team consisting of experienced SUST veterinarians was simultaneously and tirelessly on duty at the SUST-OAH:

  • Animal protection neutering campaign: 469 dogs and cats were professionally neutered by experienced veterinarians this week

  • The Orphan Animal Hospital continued to be open during this week for emergencies: For example, for this dog that had an accident

  • Digital X-ray machine: Thanks to donations, we can now X-ray injured animals and provide even better care.

  • Optimized animal rescue on site: To be able to rescue and transport injured, sick and distressed animals even better, we have brought an animal rescue vehicle on site - the team on site was introduced by the Swiss team

Dream team for the welfare of the animals: Hand in hand, the SUST animal welfare workers from Switzerland worked together with the Romanian SUST teams

Thank you to all animal welfare workers and veterinarians of the SUST for this great and successful effort.

An equally big thank you is due to the supporters, patrons and donors for their valuable contribution to sustainable, professional and serious animal welfare work. Their commitment makes these missions for animals in need possible.
