the reason i currently would choose USARK over PIJAC is this, instead of pushing for legislation that we can all live with (or a total lack of legislation) PIJAC is proposing some 6 year old program that doesn't affect the current issue of potential bans due to non native species being introduced into our ecosystem.
i simply don't understand how a voluntary program that will eventually bring about another corporation (those like to make profits you know) is helping to fix the current trend of legislation against this business.
i also don't understand how $10 per person will be able to fund such a program. i saw mention of vets, inspections, etc.... all that for $10? maybe with additional gov't funding...won't that be fun? of course when it turns corporate they will want to make some $$$ so i would expect that $10 a year to jump dramatically. next thing you know, only the biggest can afford to be part of the program. then what happens? do shows start to only allow folks who are part of the program to sell?
while i get a little tired of USARK's "grass roots" warrior verbage the simple truth is they are trying to fight current and future legislation, not create programs to teach us all how to clean our cages (yes, i know that is oversimplified)that will eventually cost so much that only the most prolific breeders will be able to afford to participate.
yes, i know there are some conspiracy theories floating in the above rant, but all of it is possible, and i would suggest even probable.
so at the end of the day....what is the benefit of the NRIP program to someone like me? ----- Stu
