In 2004, 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!

                                                                                                           The Primary function of 21st Century C.A.R.E.S. is to promote and support humane education in schools for our youth through character development, project suggestions,  community service, lesson plans and other outreach programs.  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!
