Folks, this is a HUGE victory for the herp community. Until now we have always been thought of as a group that created problems concerning the keeping of exotic and sometimes dangerous wildlife. Many incidents and accidents have been used as a basis to enact legislation to prohibit or restrictively regulate the keeping of the creatures we all have an abiding love for. Now for the first time we are thought of as a solution as opposed to creating a potential problem. CONGRATS ANDREW ON A JOB WELL DONE!! Btween PIJAC'S excellent record of protecting the entire Pet Industry and USARK working to protect the ReptileNation we all have reason to hope for better day's ahead. I urge everyone to support these organizations as they represent our ONLY line of defense. USARK has taken, in a very short time, a leadership role in defending our Industry exclusively on a grass roots level. I am actually shocked that we have come this far in so short of time. At our meeting in Chicago, less than one year ago, the concept of USARK took root and is now flourishing to the benefit of us all. Again a job well done....THANK YOU
