I'm very thankful for USARK with giving all of us this important information on our rights as pet owners and keepers. I will continue to donate and try to help spread the word on all these state initiatives and bills.

Thanks for your support!

As a psychologist and USARK Florida member, I recognize how important companion animals are to our lives. It doesn't matter if your friend has scales or fur, there is a relationship and emotional bond. I dispute the assumption that "reptilian brains" are incapable of emotional experiences and bonding. We need to continue to educate the public about reptiles and change the inaccurate negative perceptions people have.

Thank you Ron and Phil for another great video. 👏🏻
I'm with you Ron. Every time I see bull dozens churning up an entire field, or see a huge chunk of woods cut down, I am saddened at the thought of which animals were in the line of fire. 🥺 How many nests were destroyed? How many burrows were caved in?

[@usark_official]

Exactly!

Some think it’s crazy, but my Burmese pythons really are the only thing that keep me going getting out of bed is hard for me daily life’s just depressing for me. I keep them responsibly I have 4 because they consume my life which is a healthy thing for me it honestly keeps me out of my head I honestly wouldn’t want to be here without my animals I just don’t love myself and loving them keeps me going.
