Help animals

The activities of SUST

All over the world, countless animals in overcrowded shelters live sadly or struggle for their survival in wild colonies. Day after day, even today, animals that have become inconvenient are still abandoned, deported or mistakenly kept for lack of better knowledge. The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation contributes with effective means to the fact that animal suffering can be reduced or even prevented sustainably.

This animal welfare work is based on four pillars:

1. Competence Centre Animal Shelter: Animal shelters become high-quality transition stations for homeless animals, where animals are kept and promoted in a way that is appropriate for their species and finally transferred to good new places.

2. Neutering campaigns: Braking the animal misery

3. Education and training of specialists: Specialists are given the opportunity to optimise their knowledge and improve animal welfare.

4. Education of the population: love of animals with heart and mind

These four elements form the important basis for sustainable animal welfare projects.

Those animals that are not yet able to benefit from the effects of this reconstruction work and have been born into a world where they are not wanted need the emergency aid of SUST.

A "few" new guests at the Luanas Dream wildlife rehabilitation center

March 2024

During the cold season, things are usually a little quieter at the "Luanas Dream" wildlife rehabilitation center in Bucharest, Romania. But when several hundred animals need to be rescued at once, everyone is on hand to lend a hand.
In January, the team from our partner organization "Luanas Dream" had to go out to rescue no fewer than 535 bats of the "common noctule" species,
that had been hibernating in an attic and were no longer tolerated there. Each of the delicate animals was then checked for its state of health and provided with special food. As common noctules feed exclusively on flying insects, which they hunt using echolocation, the animals in captivity have to be fed individually by hand. A "giant stage" where every helping hand was welcome.
So that the bats could continue their hibernation in a protected environment after this energy-sapping disturbance, a special refrigerator was purchased to simulate the optimum conditions for hibernation. Hopefully, the animals will be fit and rested when they are released into the wild at the end of March.
SUST has been supporting the "Luanas Dream" wildlife rehabilitation center for many years.It has enabled the construction and expansion of many enclosures and the purchase of various pieces of equipment. In addition, as part of the SUST-Orphan Wildlife @ Wildlife Rehabilitation Center Bucharest, it finances 100% of the rearing and treatment of orphaned, sick and injured young animals, which are released back into the wild after their recovery.
