USARK: Join The Reptile Nation!
Join the Reptile Nation and Help Support USARK!
The United States Association of Reptile Keepers (USARK) is a science, education and conservation-based advocacy for the responsible private ownership of, and trade in reptiles and amphibians. Click here for Mission Statement.
USARK fights for our right to keep the animals that we love. There are many pending bills and other legislation which threaten these rights. USARK alerts us to such legislation, and is our first line of defense against it. They have taken reptile related lawsuits to federal court, and WON!
USARK is fully funded by donations. As you can imagine, lawsuits are expensive. Not to mention day to day operating expenses.
Please join us in our support of USARK and in the fight for the right to keep the reptiles we love!
