Next to his many tasks as a board member, he also regularly participates in our programs.
Dr. med. Vet Enrico Clavadetscher is NetAP’s medical director and a member of the board. He had his own clinic for small animals in Dübendorf for many years. Given his former position as president of the Veterinarian Society of Zurich (Gesellschaft Zürcher Tierärzte) and his position as vice president of VetSuisse Alumni, he has an excellent network of fellow veterinarians and is held in high esteem among his peers for his animal rights efforts. His high professional standard has shaped our spay/neuter programs from the very beginning. He regularly takes part in our activities in Switzerland and abroad.
Since her youth, Esther Geisser has regularly written articles for various newspapers and trade journals. Sechs Jahre lang erschien im „Welt der Tiere“ ihre Kolumne „aus dem Leben einer Tierschützerin“ mit Episoden aus ihrem Alltag. Im Katzenmagazin schrieb sie ebenfalls sechs Jahre lang zusammen mit Katze Luzy eine Kolumne über Luzys Leben und im “Beobachter Natur” beantwortete sie mehrere Jahre Fragen rund um Tiere und Tierschutz.
The magazine “Schweizer Beobachter” describes her as follows: “Esther Geisser ranks among those people who cannot rest on her couch for a single minute as long as any animal anywhere in the world is still suffering.”
Der bekannte australische Philanthrop Philip Wollen sagt: “Esther is already one of the leaders in animal protection in Europe. But she and NetAP are destined to be a significant force in reducing animal cruelty in my beloved India.”
Since 2014, she has been fully committed to animal welfare as an executive board member and is on duty almost every day.
