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!

Lernen für das Tierwohl

Ab November wird wieder für den Tierschutz gebüffelt: Die Kurse der SUST-Akademie sind geöffnet für die Einschreibungen

Tierschützer und andere Fachleute lernen in den SUST-Seminaren elementare Grundsätze für den Umgang und die Pflege von Tieren und für die Führung von Tierheimen und Tierschutzprojekten. Damit wird ein Grundstein für weitere erfolgreiche Tierschutzprojekte auf dem von der SUST geforderten Qualitätsstandard gelegt: TierschützerInnen und andere Fachkräfte packen damit Tierschutzprobleme nicht nur mit viel Liebe, sondern auch mit viel Fachwissen an und ermöglichen auf diese Weise langfristige Lösungen für Tierschutzprobleme.

Einige dieser Kurse sind auch für die Öffentlichkeit zugänglich und werden zu günstigen Preisen (von der SUST subventioniert) für Tierhalter und Tierfreunde angeboten.
