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.

Large animal rescue service GTRD

April 2023

Imagine that you suspect no evil and unexpectedly fall into a dark, narrow pit filled with a cold, stinking liquid. You are scared, swimming for your life and each breath is harder than the previous one. There are people who don't want to invest money in rescuing you because you are "just" a farm animal and by rescuing you, they are somehow supporting your owners. But you need help NOW, as you are miserably in danger of drowning and suffocating. So luckily there is the Large Animal Rescue Service CH/FL, which has the appropriate equipment and trained professionals to gently rescue you from mortal danger. And luckily people who love animals, make it possible for the Susy Utzinger Foundation to finance such elaborate rescues.
"It is not in our power to stop people from consuming animal products. But when we have the opportunity to save animals from an agonizing death in their own feces, we do it."
While most equine emergencies are covered by insurance or private funding from their owners, the costs incurred in rescuing so-called farm animals often present financial problems for the farmers involved. To ensure that these important missions are nevertheless carried out, SUST, together with the GTRD, runs the campaign "Farm animals deserve professional rescue too" and for years SUST has financed the uncovered costs of rescues of so-called "farm animals".
