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!

- Courses at the SUST Academy

SUST-Statistik 2013: Stolze Tierschutzzahlen

März 2014

In über 153 Materialabgaben (rund 60% davon in die Schweiz, 40% an ausländische Organisationen) und in 19 Einsätzen und Weiterbildungsaktionen wurden 2013 durch die Susy Utzinger Stiftung für Tierschutz neben viel aktiver Tierschutzarbeit auch über 70 Tonnen Tierutensilien an Tierschutzorganisationen abgeben. Das sind 70'000 Kilogramm an wertvollem Material, das zur Pflege und artgerechten Unterbringung von heimatlosen Tieren beigetragen hat. Was sich in Zahlen so nüchtern liest, ist Tierschutzarbeit, die mit viel Fachwissen, Fleiss und grossem Aufwand, aber auch mit sehr viel Gefühl und gelebter Tierliebe zu tun hat. Am Anfang dieser Projekte wird rekognosziert, Strategien zur Reorganisation von Tierheimen und Tierschutzprojekten werden erstellt und sämtliche organisatorischen Vorkehrungen und Aktionen getroffen. Darauf folgen die aktiven Tierschutzeinsätze: Erste Hilfe an Tieren, Einfangaktionen für verwilderte Tiere, Materiallieferungen, Gespräche mit Behörden, Aus- und Weiterbildung der Fachleute vor Ort, Umbauten in Tierheimen und vieles mehr.
