Slowing down the animal misery: The SUST tackles it sustainably

Hundreds of thousands of street dogs and cats fight for survival in many countries, countless of them are captured and many of them vegetate under terrible conditions, while new unwanted kittens are born all the time. The suffering of unwanted dogs and cats is infinite in many countries.

Castrations are the only way to reduce the overpopulation of street animals in a long-term and animal-friendly way. Thousands of dogs, cats and other animals have already been successfully operated in various countries by the Susy Utzinger Animal Welfare Foundation. As a result of this measure, countless unwanted animals were not even born in the first place. Such actions have a future: No more emaciated animal mothers on the streets, no more famine and no more sexually transmitted diseases, where the animals perish miserably.

If the number of street animals is reduced, the unwanted, "disturbing" animals will no longer be tortured: No more poisoning actions, no more animals beaten to death, no more shooting actions. In this way the animal misery is slowed down, slowly but steadily and sustainably.

The SUST spay and neuter team in Romania is "unstoppable"!

June 2024

The team led by OAH-Bucharest veterinarian Dr. Irina Corbu-Rudnic, aside from the "normal daily clinic routine," is also on the road with the mobile SUST clinic, often over weekends, traveling through the rural areas of Romania to carry out spaying and neutering campaigns.

In these regions, there are hardly any veterinarians—and if there are, residents cannot afford a "regular" spaying or neutering. Spaying and neutering—and the educational efforts surrounding it—are the only sustainable ways to reduce animal suffering in the long term. By offering free spaying and neutering, not only can the cycle of unwanted young animals be broken, but it also alleviates the burden on overcrowded animal shelters and reduces health problems in animals. Together with ongoing educational efforts, the SUST spaying and neutering campaigns promote a culture of responsible pet ownership and show people how they can take responsibility for the well-being of their four-legged companions.

Thanks to your generous support, 1,554 animals were spayed or neutered in these campaigns from January to March 2024. Because the numbers are so impressive, here they are in detail: Pecineaga 254, Otopeni 319, Racari 101, Moreni 123, Jilava 208, Snagov January 248, Snagov February 69, Berceni 144, and 88 in Colpani.
