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.

ATTENTION blue-green algae!

July 2024

When walking your dog, please be aware of the presence of blue-green algae in lakes and ponds. Algae can also accumulate in lake drains and dammed river sections! Blue-green algae are not actually algae, but cyanobacteria. A high concentration of nutrients and plenty of sunlight are the perfect conditions for blue-green algae. For this reason, blue-green algae can develop explosively in lakes and bodies of water. They can be yellow, green, brown or even red in color.
Here are the recommendations for dealing with blue-green algae from the Canton of Zurich Health Department:
Blue-green algae can be hazardous to health in increased concentrations!
- If the algae density in knee-deep water is so high that you can no longer see your feet, do not swim.
   no longer visible, do not swim
- Avoid conspicuously colored water surfaces with streaks and flakes
- People with sensitive skin, including small children, should only bathe in clear water.
   water
- Avoid swallowing water
- Always shower well and dry thoroughly after bathing
- Playing and exercising with dogs should be restricted to suitable shore areas with
   clear water
- Do not allow dogs to drink colored water and wash their fur if they come into contact with it,
   because bacteria can be ingested through licking
