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.

Special rescue operation by the large animal rescue service

June 2024

At the beginning of June, the Large Animal Rescue Service CH/FL (GTRD) had to respond to an especially challenging rescue operation. An escaped cow had fallen into the Rhine and got stuck in the mud. Unable to free itself, it had to be secured in collaboration with the local fire department and airlifted from its dire situation by Rega.

Fortunately, the cow survived its ordeal unscathed thanks to the dedicated intervention of the rescue teams. While most horse emergencies are covered by insurance or privately funded by their owners, the costs incurred in the rescue of so-called livestock often present financial challenges for the affected farmers. To ensure these crucial operations can still take place, SUST has been running the campaign "Even Livestock Deserve Professional Rescue" in collaboration with GTRD since 2014, covering the uncovered costs for the rescue of so-called livestock.

Thank you very much for your support, which makes this valuable assistance possible!
