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.

New mission from the large animal rescue service (GTRD)

February 2023

It happens again and again that cows move the cover of the manure pit and fall into it. Cow Lisa also had to make this terrible experience at the end of January. Such a pit fall is potentially life-threatening, because the toxic gases that occur there in highly concentrated form can quickly lead to unconsciousness and death.
After the pit was well ventilated by the fire department that was called in, the team of the large animal rescue service CH/FL was able to venture into the stinky and cold slurry to put the special rescue harness on Lisa. With the help of heavy machinery and the use of all available forces, Lisa was subsequently retrieved unharmed and gently through the small opening to safe ground.
While most horse emergencies are covered by insurance or the private financing of their owners, the costs incurred in the rescue of so-called farm animals often present the farmers concerned with financial problems. To ensure that these important operations are nevertheless carried out, SUST, together with the GTRD, runs the campaign "Farm animals also deserve professional rescue" and for years SUST has financed the uncovered costs of rescues of so-called "farm animals".
