21stCentury C.A.R.E.S, is dedicated to supporting animal welfare,
operating rescue facilities for domesticated animals, and teaching
humane education. 21st CARES has implemented a model program in
instructing youth about the humanitarian treatment of fellow creatures.
This program primarily moves to reach all students in grades 5-12, and
targets troubled and at risk teens by introducing students to rescued
companion dogs. It delivers a comprehensive and innovative program that
helps them learn empathy, understanding, compassion and responsibility
towards animals and, by extension, other human beings. 21st CARES
partners with the courts and public school systems to reach out in a
creative way to young people who are in need of positive role models and
productive ways to channel their energies. The organization also assists
animal protection organizations and parent groups with implementing
humane education.
In 2010, adults in this
country made decisions that ultimately resulted in the unnecessary
killing of over 8 million healthy companion animals! This is
based on simple ignorance. Our children could make better decisions for
the future if only given the proper information on which to base their
decisions. We must only show them that 21st Century CARES!
By expanding the parameters of what people
think they know and showing what many refuse to see, we can see an end
to animal abuse and pet overpopulation in our lifetime. It is
clear that the problems will not be solved by the large animal
organizations, but, by thinking outside the box. We provide the
building blocks to implement your own humane education programs & to
begin making changes at the local level. With over 1,000 pages of
lesson plans for K-12, troubled and at risk teens, humane religion &
research articles, we'll help you keep this idea alive!!!
At some point
in time, we must all make the decision to stop exhausting our energies
and resources that place their focus on only cleaning up yesterday's
messes and to decide we want to see solutions that will protect the
animals yet to be born as well. We must not lose perspective of
our collective goals. We must expand our horizons to choose those
campaigns that will help us to accomplish the most and save more animals
in the long run. The animals who exist today are a very tiny
percentage of the animals who will be abused and ultimately killed in
coming years and decades. Paying excessive attention to those who
suffer today is condemning millions more to suffer the same fate -
simply born from human ignorance - and yet another blow to the failing
animal welfare and animal rights movement's ultimate goals. We
can't begin to win the game if only part of our team understands the
rules. These animals are DYING for humans to learn how to work
smarter and not harder! Humane Education is the best...... no, the
ONLY means we have of accomplishing these goals!
