This blog is to share the information I have accumulated over the past 10 years that will help tomorrow's decision makers do a better job at being the guardians of their pets. We are continuing to kill 4-8 million happy, healthy dogs and cats annually in this country because of decisions that the adults have made.
MY ARGUMENT BEGINS WITH THE FOLLOWING......
The
outrageous amount of unnecessary bloodshed
Americans levy against millions of healthy happy
dogs annually is the Elephant in the
room!!! Clearly, the larger animal protection
organizations are not going to solve this
problem - none even have any 'boots on the
ground' staff nor volunteers to assist in the
education of our current or future guardians..
By doing nothing to educate the next generation
of pet owners/guardians, we condemn the millions
and billions of pets yet to be born, to the same
unforgiving fate. Very sad for a
'civilized' society.
21st
Century CARES is dedicated to supporting animal
welfare, operating rescue facilities for
domesticated animals, and teaching humane
education to all current and future guardians.
21st Century 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
Our program 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!
Throughout my time posting on this blog, I will preach, bitch, moan, grown, complain and degrade the larger national animal welfare organizations for taking millions of dollars each year from donors who mistakenly think they are helping this problem by donating. But, in all honesty, the larger orgs (Humane Society of the United States, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and others) could have and should have been doing alot more along these lines over the past 50 years, but if they did it well, it could greatly reduce the amount of money coming in from the general public. Afterall, a good solid education program might just put an end to many of the abuse cases we hear of as well as curb the overpopulation program, too.
If this were to happen, then they couldn't hire those whores to sing songs on commercials while showing sad and injured puppies and kittens to get everyone to donate out of sympathy and a desire to 'help' these poor creatures.
I've actually been in the classroom - in 12 states - addressed nearly 5,000 young kids that someday will become the guardian of their very own pets. I've seen the interest they have in resolving these issues. I've heard the very thoughtful questions they've asked after my presentation has ended. I've noticed the shock and horror on the faces of the teachers, adults who oversee the students' activities and especially on the faces of all the students when they hear what we're doing, how long we've been doing it, how monumental it is and how simply it could all be stopped.
Throughout my time posting on this blog, I will also do what I can to provide substantive information that others can use at no charge, to edit into a presentation that is customized for any community in America as well as in the words of the person(s) who will be visiting the schools to speak.
After all, we can't even begin to see any improvements in these problems unless and until we find a way to reach out to each and every young student we have in this country BEFORE they find themselves in a situation that will only perpetuate the foolishness of the current day and time.
WE NEED PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS TO BEGIN TO VISIT SCHOOLS
AND DO IT WITH A GAME PLAN that will bring the best results for the time dedicated. - in other words, to have a good plan of attack can mean the difference between reaching 50 students or reaching all the 5th, 6th and 7th graders in a single day's time either by addressing an assembly with all in attendance, or to spend the entire day at that given school so you can visit with each grade level while you are there.
There will be much more to come. I hope you'll join me, learn, and ultimately decide to begin your own educational efforts in and around your local community.
THESE ANIMALS ARE JUST WAITING FOR HUMANS TO FINALLY DO THE RIGHT THING!!!

I love it Randy!!!
