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.

No animal hair as nesting material!

April 2023

Dear gardeners, please remember:
No animal hair as nesting material!
This well-intentioned advice, which is often found on the Internet, harbors a number of dangers.
If a lot of animal hair is offered as nesting material, "family bird" likes to build too much of it into their nest. This can lead to the animals getting tangled in it or swallowing the hair.
It's all in the mix!
A well-built bird's nest will certainly have some animal hair or feathers as padding or insulation, but it will also include clay, moss and other plant fibers.
So-called "civilization waste" is also dangerous. So you can leave your garden a bit "messy" if you want to help birds, but make sure that no strings, threads and other plastic waste is lying around.
