In a major reversal of a trend started by the Animal Rights Movement 9 years ago to BAN many reptiles at the State level USARK has introduced their model legislation in North Carolina. If passed Senate Bill 307 (S307) will require caging standards, safety protocols, escape prevention and registration for venomous, large constrictors and crocodilians; but will allow individuals to maintain their right to work with these animals into perpetuity. This is a truly historic and precedent setting event. The Herp Community has never actually done anything for themselves before. That has now all changed. USARK is actively working to secure our collective futures at the local, state and national levels. Virginia wants to introduce similar legislation in the 2010 legislative session. The Herp Community, through USARK has taken it's destiny in it's own hands. No longer will we stand idly by and watch our rights disappear. Remember this day! We are making history and securing our own futures. Thank you all of you for your support. Together we will accomplish great things for our community!! More details and bill text will be available soon in an USARK Alert. Stay tuned. And thank you for standing up for yourselves with USARK on this historic day.

Andrew Wyatt
President USARK
