And if an animal is in pain, surely if we are human – if we are caring, thinking people – surely it is our responsibility to try to do whatever we can to stop that suffering."

IAR NewsMay 2008 Bill Bailey and pets support protest against dog killing in Kerala
Bill joined Alan Knight CEO of International Animal Rescue, members of the IAR team and other animal lovers. They were acting in support of ARK (Animal Rescue Kerala) run by Avis Lyons and Citizens for Animals led by Rishi Dev, both operating in India. The group held placards and handed out leaflets to members of the public and travellers to India queuing for visas. Bill and Alan also handed in a letter for the High Commissioner asking him to intervene and stop the illegal killing of the dogs in Kerala and implement instead a proper programme of sterilisation and vaccination.
Alan Knight said: "We’re extremely grateful to Bill for finding time to support this cause. Just turning up with his own much-loved pets that were once struggling to survive on the streets of Bali was a message in itself to the Indian government."
Bill Bailey became a patron of International Animal Rescue after visiting our bear sanctuary in Agra, northern India in November 2005.
