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.

Living animals are no Christmas presents

It is the most ardent wish of many children: a sweet pet.

To fulfill it, however, needs to be very well thought out. With a picture booklet the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation wants to sensitize also the youngest ones.

The booklet tells the story of Lea and Mael. They too dream of a dog waiting for them under the Christmas tree. Nothing else is on their wish list. From their parents they learn that a living creature is not a toy that you can just put in the corner when you don't feel like it anymore. They learn that a dog needs walks in all weathers, that it wants to be looked after during the vacations and that such a dog costs money. Lea and Mael can be happy: Their parents can and want to fulfill their wish. But the story does not end there. Because it also opens another sad chapter about buying a dog. The dog that Lea and Mael decide to buy ended up in the shelter because it was bought thoughtlessly on the Internet and, when it fell ill, was no longer welcome.

The booklet of the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation addresses itself to children at the age of six to ten years and explains descriptive, why living animals do not belong under the Christmas tree and how, if nevertheless, the whole family must intensively concern itself with the acquisition of a new family member.

"Lea and Mael wish for a dog" will be published in mid-December and can be ordered free of charge from the SUST (available in German and French).
