Cow Irene was sick and the vet could not help her on an ambulatory basis. Therefore, she was picked up by the Large Animal Rescue Service CH/FL and transported to the animal hospital in Zurich. As an emotional support, little Olivia, her calf, was also allowed to travel along. Together, the two were able to face the journey quite "coolly".
While most horse emergencies are covered by insurance or the private funding of their owners, the costs incurred in the rescue of so-called farm animals often present the farmers concerned with financial problems. To ensure that these important missions are nevertheless carried out, SUST, together with GTRD, runs the campaign "Farm animals deserve professional rescue too" and for years SUST has financed the uncovered costs of rescues of so-called "farm animals".
Thank you for also being involved with farm animals in need:
