Prominent animal lovers volunteer their time to support the Susy Utzinger Foundation for Animal Welfare. For this campaign, they posed for photographs with an animal.
SUST provides immediate assistance where animals are suffering and simultaneously works to reduce the number of animals in distress. This is achieved through emergency aid and four pillars of support.
SUST provides immediate assistance to animals in distress: through animal rescue operations, first aid missions, and on-site veterinary care. Injured, sick, or abandoned stray animals receive protection and the medical care they need in the seven animal orphanages.
Through advice, work assignments, food deliveries and construction measures, SUST strengthens animal shelters so that the animals there are well cared for and looked after.
To help the animal shelter
The SUST (Swiss Transportation Safety Investigation Board) continuously carries out castration projects in Switzerland and abroad. This reduces the number of animals born on the streets.
Regarding castrations
Veterinarians and animal care staff expand their knowledge through training, internships and seminars so that they can provide better animal welfare on site.
For training
Through expertise, a podcast and political work, SUST raises awareness about the responsible treatment of animals.
