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.

At the end of November, the large animal rescue service CH/FL was called out for a very special patient:

November 2024

Suspected of having a hip joint dislocation, Auri was safely and comfortably transported to the animal hospital.

It seems Auri won’t be delivering presents this year...

Interesting Reindeer Fact 1: Male reindeer shed their antlers every year after the rutting season, typically in early winter. By the next spring, their antlers grow back—usually larger than the previous year. After the exhausting mating season, during which their antlers are used as weapons in battles against rivals, the reindeer’s body sheds them. Female reindeer, however, retain their antlers until spring, usually shedding them after giving birth to their calves—a similarly energy-intensive process.

Interesting Reindeer Fact 2: Female reindeer grow their first set of antlers at around two years old. This explains why the yearling Auri is currently without antlers.

While most equine emergencies are covered by insurance or privately financed by their owners, the costs of rescuing so-called livestock often present financial challenges for the affected farmers. To ensure these critical rescues can still take place, SUST has partnered with the GTRD since 2014 to run the campaign “Livestock Deserve Professional Rescue Too” and covers the uncovered costs of rescuing so-called "livestock."
