You can't spend much time around this hobby without encountering reference to USARK. And as time goes on, I find myself taking on the privilege of caring for more animals and growing more committed to the hobby, and I've started to wonder if joining USARK is something that makes sense.
Of course, I don't need to join. But I've read their website and find that I'm in broad agreement with their platform, and I do realize that there's a legislative threat to the hobby from misguided, though well-meaning, persons and groups. So I do see the need for an advocacy organization.
That said, I'm curious about the community's overall opinion about USARK. Is this an organization that does real and tangible good for the hobby? Or is it just something that sells "memberships" and mails out some cheap-o "newsletter" once or twice a year? Its a little hard to tell and some aspects of their website seem to have not been updated in years.
Of course I appreciate and comments and thank everyone for their time in responding.
