Our sponsored animals: A symbol of animal protection

We are proud to be not only a company, but also a community of animal lovers and pet owners. Each of our sponsored animals is an important part of our corporate culture, and we would like to introduce them to you.

 

Our sponsored animals are animals that we support and protect. They are our ambassadors for animal welfare and symbolize our commitment to promoting the well-being of all animals.

 

Species-appropriate husbandry : We are committed to ensuring that our sponsored animals live in a species-appropriate manner. This means that they receive enough space, typical activity and a healthy diet.

Rescue and rehabilitation : Many of our sponsored animals have an eventful past. They were rescued, rehabilitated and given a second chance. Their stories inspire us and show how important it is to stand up for animals.

Education and awareness : Our sponsored animals are also educational ambassadors. We use their stories to educate and raise awareness among visitors about animal welfare issues.

Nubra and Dawa

Romping around, eating and sleeping: That's what Nubra and Dawa, the two youngest snow leopards from the Krefeld Zoo, have on their daily agenda. TUNDRA supports the raising of big cat babies through sponsorship.

On Monday, July 11, 2022, snow leopard mom Dari gave birth to the two kittens behind the scenes at the zoo. Since then, the two girls have been running around the zoo's spacious enclosure, growing and successfully practicing climbing, jumping and catching - always under the watchful eye of mom Dari. Despite their fluffy appearance and blue eyes, the snow leopards can be easily distinguished from each other: Nubra's fur is darker, Dawa's fur is lighter.

We are very pleased that we can support the two now young big cats with a sponsorship and would also like to draw attention to the threat to snow leopards in the wild.


The Krefeld Zoo looks back on a successful breeding history: For snow leopard dad Patan and mom Dari, this is the fourth litter to see the light of day in Krefeld. The couple continues a long series of successful breeding of the highly endangered mountain dwellers, which began with the first litter in 1966. A sensation, because until then in Europe only the zoo in Helsinki had achieved breeding success. With Nubra and Dawa, snow leopard breeding is entering its seventh generation.

Endangered Spirits of the Himalayas

The big cats are threatened with extinction in the wild: it is estimated that only around 7,000 animals still live in the mountain ranges of Central Asia. Their habitat covers twelve countries, which makes collective protection through different legislation extremely difficult. An estimated 450 snow leopards are killed each year through illegal hunting and sold on the black market. Climate change also threatens the lives of high mountain dwellers: Rising temperatures have made around a third of the original habitat uninhabitable over the past twenty years.

This is what our commitment does

The Krefeld Zoo supports the protection of the animals with donations to the Snow Leopard Trust.
The organization sets up protected areas and informs village communities about snow leopards. We are happy that we can contribute to the protection of snow leopards with our donation. With the help of our contribution, the animals' enclosures will also be expanded, for example. The voluntary association Zoofreunde Krefeld e. V. manages the sponsorships and has been committed to the zoo's animals for more than 50 years.

Man is not the measure of all things.

It is life in the midst of life that also wants to live.

Our godfather beagle

Greg

The placement opportunities for beagles from the laboratory vary: While young, healthy dogs find a new home quite quickly, it is often more difficult for older companions who may already have previous illnesses.

In such cases, there are foster homes that look after exactly such dogs.

The laboratory beagle aid continues to cover the costs of food and veterinary care and relies on sponsors who donate a monthly contribution for a beagle. We have also decided to sponsor a former laboratory beagle: Our sponsored dog Greg lives in a wonderful foster home and we support him with food, among other things.

In Germany and Europe there are a variety of laws that prescribe and regulate animal testing for different uses. Without them, many medications, medical products, aids and surgical and therapeutic procedures would unfortunately not be available. Of course, experiments on animals, whether rats, dogs or monkeys, are still not to be advocated. The association Laborbeaglehilfe e. V. is therefore committed to giving laboratory beagles a new, more beautiful life after their time at the institute.

The non-profit association has been committed to rehoming former laboratory beagles since 2007. To do this, they cooperate with laboratories and institutes to take over beagles when they are no longer needed. After their release and a thorough medical check, the dogs can be adopted and start a new, happy life.

 

 

In addition, the association helps breeding dogs from home and abroad and places them after appropriate medical care. A total of twelve active members take care of the animals and the club's work on a voluntary basis, look for foster homes and organize regular meetings for laboratory beagle owners to exchange ideas.
