Neutering campaigns

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.

SUST castration campaigns at the Black Sea in Romania are urgently needed

The SUST castration campaigns at the Black Sea in Romania are urgently needed and unfortunately take place delayed due to the Corona crisis in 2020. This showed sad consequences: Most of the homeless bitches and cats already gave birth to kittens this year, which are now also fighting for survival on the streets. Our team on site saw a sad picture: "It seemed as if there was no end to the flood of animals" said SUST veterinarian Dr. Irina Corbu.

The team on site gave their very best and performed unbelievably late into the night every day: a total of 323 animals were neutered during the 4-day campaign. An unbelievable achievement, especially when you consider that many of the shy street animals first had to be caught and transported by veterinarian Dr. Ovidiu Rosu with an anesthetic gun or blowpipe.

Most of the animals suffered severely from parasites (fleas, ticks as well as endoparasites). Therefore, they also received additional parasite treatment.
