When I first began seeing the USARK symbol plastered all over reptile forums I decided to look into it. I don't want any legislation to decide what I may keep...my gun, my insurance, my pets, my freedom, so on and so on. I looked at the website and wanted to find out more about USARK to make a determination as to whether or not I should support it and it's ideals. There was not enough information available without hours and hours of research on my part which I'd rather spend on issues more meaningful to my endeavors. My ability to keep boas is important to me although it is a hobby, not my livelihood. When I contacted USARK, I promptly received a reply from Andrew Wyatt. What I wanted to know in a nutshell was who the members were....because I check out organizations before I jump on board. All that info is private and unavailable. Currently I don't think there is enough info available for me to decided on supporting this organization or not. Unfortunately, it's folks like myself that can help, but just need to be reached. You may not care about one person's support...maybe a better outreach program should be initiated. In the meantime, I guess you won't read my posts, look at my pics or buy a snake from me.

The decision to not be involved happened by default. When I am better informed, there is a chance I'd jump on the wagon.
