I had heard about USARK coming up with 'standards' for a while now, since they first got started years ago if I remember correctly. In fact it's right in their mission statement "We endorse caging standards, sound husbandry, escape prevention protocols, and an integrated approach to vital conservation issues."
I am not a fan of rules being imposed but I believe it was looked at as 'the lesser of evils' - the greater evil being a full ban. not saying that makes it right...
