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.

12 animals were treated at the veterinary consultation in Biel.

August 2024

The Elephant in the Room…

...Don’t worry, veterinarian Dr. med. vet. Daniel Hofer and vet assistant Anika Fritschi from the small animal clinic LYSSBACHVET

didn’t treat an actual elephant during the last consultation of the Social Work for Animals (SOFT) in Biel. However, this proverbial elephant was often present in the rooms of CONTACTBiel. Many of the 12 treated animals showed characteristics of extreme breeding.

This includes the three babies in the picture, who face a lifetime of suffering. Folded ears or shortened skulls are just the most obvious impairments these animals will endure throughout their lives. Folded ears are caused by genetically bred cartilage malformations, which often affect all the joints in the body. These animals suffer without their owners even being aware of it.

That’s why this project is so important! The consultations provide a space for direct knowledge exchange and awareness about extreme breeding issues, as well as how spaying and neutering can prevent further animal suffering.

So, THANK YOU to everyone who supports SOFT—whether through donations, expertise, or time!
