Is USARK Done?

[Wiggles92]

The news just broke today that Andrew Wyatt is resigning from USARK in order to form the United States Herpetoculture Alliance, Inc. along with some others.

Do you guys think USARK is pretty much done now? The Facebook page disappeared at least a week ago, but the website is still up as of this post.

I think it will not totally dissapear, but it will be a tiny little insignificant group. Unless urban jungles radio takes over...

It appears that a new USARK Facebook page has popped up, but I don't know if it's legitimate or not.

Also, USARK's board has stated that USARK will still exist, but it will be run by the board until a new CEO/President is found.

Brian Barczyk of BHB Reptiles on this news:



I agree with him 100% on this one.

So apparently some of the board members of USARK wanted to throw the venomous segment under the hobby in order to preserve other segments (large constrictors in particular), and that may have contributed to Wyatt's departure.
