It happens again and again that cows move the cover of the manure pit and fall into it. Cow Lisa also had to make this terrible experience at the end of January. Such a pit fall is potentially life-threatening, because the toxic gases that occur there in highly concentrated form can quickly lead to unconsciousness and death.
After the pit was well ventilated by the fire department that was called in, the team of the large animal rescue service CH/FL was able to venture into the stinky and cold slurry to put the special rescue harness on Lisa. With the help of heavy machinery and the use of all available forces, Lisa was subsequently retrieved unharmed and gently through the small opening to safe ground.
While most horse emergencies are covered by insurance or the private financing 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 operations are nevertheless carried out, SUST, together with the GTRD, runs the campaign "Farm animals also deserve professional rescue" and for years SUST has financed the uncovered costs of rescues of so-called "farm animals".
