International Animal Rescue
International Animal Rescue is a small hands-on rescue organisation dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of suffering animals. IAR started working in India just five years ago, with a pilot sterilisation and vaccination programme to control the population and spread of disease amongst the huge stray dog population in Goa. We have treated over 50,000 animals in our veterinary clinic and rescue centre, where we also treat indigenous wildlife, including snakes, monkeys and the hundreds of \'sacred\' cows that roam the streets and beaches. Thanks to the help of our supporters we have managed to spread our work and now have a second rescue centre in Kerala.
In December 2002 IAR helped complete the first sanctuary for the long suffering \'dancing\' bears of India. Six bears were cut free on Christmas Eve and 60 more bears during 2003. These poor orphaned bears are now free to live out their days without constant pain and torture. Additional land has been donated in order to expand the sanctuary and with over 1000 bears still suffering on the streets we need to raise the necessary funds to build additional quarantine areas and security walling before we can rescue more bears. Our goal is to rescue 200 bears in 2004 and continue our campaigning and fundraising until we can stamp out this cruel practice for good.
In Malta, we treat birds injured, as a result, of the indiscriminate shooting of all migratory birds - from British songbirds to Ospreys. Our campaigning has helped change animal welfare laws and we have helped the Police to enforce them by supplying a high-speed patrol boat.
We cannot continue this work without your help. Please consider becoming a regular supporter or pledging a lasting legacy that will provide sanctuary for bears, dogs, cats, seals and other animals in the future. Please pledge your support to International Animal Rescue and help save an animal\'s life today. For further information please see contact details below or visit our website http://www.iar.org.uk - where you will also find an innovative and new interactive bear called Cybear that you can download and place on your computer desktop and forward to your friends to help spread the word about the FREE THE BEARS campaign.
