Education and Training

Education and training of specialists

The Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation's guiding principle is "Let's tackle the root of the problem". In addition to the optimisation of animal shelters and neutering campaigns in Switzerland and many other countries, the training and further education of veterinarians and animal protectionists is an important pillar of this philosophy: The SUST veterinary training courses are known for their quality and efficiency.

Animal welfare activists learn elementary principles for the handling and care of animals and for the management of animal shelters, veterinarians are brought up to date with the latest neutering techniques by internationally recognized colleagues and experience new and important things for the implementation of such campaigns.

This lays the foundation for further successful neutering campaigns to meet the quality standard demanded by SUST: This means that countless unwanted young animals do not have to be born and suffer in the first place. It has been proven that the overpopulation of dogs and cats can only be contained in the long term and animal-friendly by neutering campaigns.

This is what we have set ourselves the goal of our animal welfare work: the problem is being tackled at the root!

The pillar "basic and advanced training of specialists" includes

- Courses at the SUST Academy
- Veterinary training in different countries
- Animal welfare seminars in different countries
- ERFA events in Switzerland
- Internships for veterinarians, students and veterinary assistants in different countries
- Trainee programme for young Swiss veterinarians of SUST and Kompanima

SUST-Tierschutzeinsatz in Aegypten

März 2019

SUST-Tierarzt Dr. Markus Trächsel (Tierklinik Rhenus, Flurlingen) unterstützt dieses Projekt seit 15 Jahren und bildet auch in diesem Einsatz seine KollegInnen im SUST-Tierwaisenhospitals@Bluemoon auf wichtigen Gebieten weiter.

Zusätzlich bilden unsere Fachkräfte unter der Leitung von Dr. Markus Trächsel verschiedene ägyptische Gast-Tierärzte weiter und kümmern sich um die täglich neu eingelieferten heimatlosen Tiere im Tierwaisen-Hospital.

Der zweite Teil des SUST-Teams arbeitet im Wüstentierheim Bluemoon Animal Center und unterstützt die gleichzeitig laufende Kastrationsaktion für Strassenhunde und -katzen.

SUST-Leiterin Susy Utzinger und Projektleiterin Monique Carrera führen daneben erhandlungen und politische Gespräche, verhandeln Futterpreise und -einkäufe, führen Besprechungen mit TierschützerInnen vor Ort, besprechen Optimierungen und stellen Pläne für weitere Projekte auf die Beine.

Auch ein Besuch bei den Patenhunden und -katzen aus dem Patenschaftsprogramm SUST-Bluemoon Animal Center darf natürlich nicht fehlen.
