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.

Badgers on the move

November 2024

The latest data shows that these shy animals are becoming increasingly at home in the city. In recent years, badgers have been photographed more than three times as often with wildlife cameras in urban areas. As badgers only react to changes - such as the time change - to a limited extent, it is particularly important to preserve their burrows where possible. The burrows are often used for many generations, which increases their importance for the animals.
With their burrows often dug close to roads, badgers are particularly vulnerable to traffic accidents. Every year, numerous badgers have accidents on the roads. It is therefore particularly important to drive carefully at this time of year.
Tips to protect badgers (and yourself):
- Drive carefully at night: badgers are particularly active at dusk.
- Watch out for movements on the roadside: Badgers are small and difficult to recognise.
- Avoid evasive manoeuvres: Instead, brake gently to prevent accidents.
- Watch out for wildlife crossing signs: They indicate where badgers often cross the road.
Badgers play an important role in the ecosystem by regulating pests and keeping the soil healthy. Help these fascinating animals to survive in their natural environment.
