"USARK is the pre-eminent voice of the herp community in Washington D.C. and nationwide. We are asking everyone to contribute as this campaign will affect our entire community. Anti-pet groups are exactly that. They are not “anti-big snake groups.” They are fighting to remove all reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates (as well as ALL pets) from American households and the entire herp and exotic pet community should be concerned. As an established trade organization, USARK is the best advocacy and representation for this battle. We are represented by Kelley Drye, the foremost animal-related law firm in the country."
