Now that I have your attention, something has been bothering me lately. As of late there have become an inordinate amount of people running their mouth about USARK and what they are doing for our niche community. People post and question their lobbying efforts and want to know where this or that dollar went and so on.
I am not invalidating wanting more accurate reporting of expenditures. I for one do not agree with USARK 100% on everything they do or how they do things as an organization. There seems to be a large factor that many people are forgetting about. Who else is fighting for us? Is there another entity that is being invited to testify in front of congress? In case you’re unaware as I was, you can only testify when you’re invited.
I am not asking you to donate 10% of your income to the church of USARK. I donate & I will continue to do so. Again this is not to say that I agree with all of USARK activities etc. I will say this though, until there comes a time when you have a personal invite to congress to represent the thousands of reptile keepers who don’t get invited or acquire enough money to file a formal lawsuit against the US Government.
SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR COMMUNITY BESIDES WHINE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING SOMETHING!
