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.

Vaccinating animals protects people too!

May 2024

In many countries, the deadly viral disease rabies is still widespread. It is most commonly transmitted to humans through the bite of infected stray and domestic animals (like dogs and cats), as well as wild animals such as foxes, and it often ends fatally.

The major issue is that rabies is prevalent in many poorer regions and countries where numerous stray dogs (and wild animals) live. This leads to brutal and massive actions against these animals out of fear of the deadly transmission of rabies: shooting and poisoning campaigns are conducted to supposedly eliminate this "threat."

We address this problem with rabies vaccination campaigns and finance rabies vaccinations. This week, our SUST team, together with children from a village in the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa, raised awareness about these actions in 2024.

Thank you very much for your support, which allows us to vaccinate animals to protect humans. Here is the map showing all our activities outside of Switzerland: www.susyutzinger.ch/Aktivitaeten/AktivitaetenAusland
