    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry is usark scamming the reptile industry

it has to do with terry knowing more about fighting these regulations then just about everyone else in the industry.

terry spent over $100,000 of his own money fighting. andrew wyatt spent everyone elses money fighting to push model legislation

If he spent a fraction of that on taking better care of his animals, most of us wouldnt have an issue with him. And for the record, no one cares how long you've been doing something. If you've been doing it wrong for 30 years then your experience doesnt matter.
 
Is it just me, or do the guys that are supporting Terry so vehemently have about the same grasp of the English language?

So, Robert, you think that the best way to convince someone that your guy is legitimate is to insult someone who admits that they had never heard of him. That's really professional. From what I've seen, this whole group is about as unprofessional as it gets. I am just glad that the people I hand my money to are on a different page when it comes to public perception of the reptile industry than these guys.

Chris
 
chris you are RIGHT my slip of protocol wasmy mistake i stand corrected iguess its time for you to admit people attacking terry are guilty of the same eh
 
Her point is that your retics, the discussion about the alligator, and most of the comments about Terry are not relevant to this thread.
This is about USARK, and how they are scamming the reptile industry

I am mindful that the discussion is about USARK and I'm glad that you redirected us all into that discussion. But I do think that the level of professionalism of the USARK critics or lack thereof, is relevant to whether or not one should give credence to their claims.
 
dude these people are the reptile internet generation and thats it.
And how old are you? And who knows you? Because here you are thinking you are huge. Or at least talking like you are huge. If these people don't matter, then why are you here?

i just read his little bio on here. hes only been keeping reptiles since 1997 1998.
im guessing hes a big nobody in the reptile community.
That is right. I am a big nobody. So why do you feel threatened? Does it make you real cool that you have been keeping reptiles longer than me? Go start a thread about me if you want to discuss me.

the reason they dont know who terry is because he not all over the internet like andrew and remember thats all they know.
I guess you still failed to read and comprehend. We all know who terry is. He is all over the internet and the local ohio media. And his reputation is laughable at best. The guy can't follow his own local ordinances. Why should I want him representing me? His reputation in regards to animal care is.............LOL

Yeah you keep bringing up the alligator crocodile thing. If that is all you have on me.... then I pity you.
 
Their attacks on Terry were slightly off-topic, but from what I saw, not without merit. Anyone who is letting a kid handle or even be around a gator of that size is completely irresponsible and has absolutely no business trying to represent the large majority of reptile keepers who are trying to make this hobby appear as respectable as it truly is. I don't know Terry, but just based on that photo alone, I would never want him speaking for me about anything. It shows that his decision-making is far from sound.

Chris
 
chris you are RIGHT my slip of protocol wasmy mistake i stand corrected iguess its time for you to admit people attacking terry are guilty of the same eh

Wait. Terry has his own thread. This is for USARK. Stay on topic.


Wait a second. I almost feel like I am talking to the same person but with different names.

Yeah it seems like there might be something of importance to discuss. It seems it actually might be very beneficial.

However, if you look at the thread that was started by rodney, he insinuates that usark is scamming the reptile industry. Unfortunately, up to know he still fails to show proof of the "scam"
 
Does it really matter? I think not. Who are you? Do you even keep reptiles? WTF are you really doing on this website other than stirring the pot? :shrug01:

Do you even think before you post, or do you just let your fingers go across the keyboard without your brain connecting them? The more you type, the more I think that you're just trying to stir up stuff. You sound so damned illiterate in your postings, and can't even answer basic questions, yet you can spew off at the mouth, (keyboard) about other crap. You don't do research (which is been proven) before you type, so why don't you do everyone a favor and keep away from the keyboard until you do some self education.

Thanks for reminding me Brandi, I almost forgot after reading thru all the bs. Rodney how did ur research go on the Florida laws? I wish USARK was as well funded and around before they put the bans on around here. And from what I can tell theyve spent a good amount of money keeping my Red Tails off the list, which is exactly what they said they do with it.


how many people are killed by dogs every year and how many are killed by gators

How many people own dogs versus how many own alligators? Quid pro que

i only got on here to answer that one girls questions. i didnt really want to waste my time talking to you people that live on here. i have around 50 retics that need fed so i have to go. i actually have a lot of reptiles unlike most of you.

Who cares how many reptiles u own or what u need to do with them, not on topic about USARK at all.

whats you point

Her point is to keep on topic on your own thread. Its funny how u insult April one of the more lenient mods. (Nothing against you Harald, we need you here just as much if not more for your fairness and quick resolution of issues)

What?

sorry mikey ill sell yham ooops ill tri agin ooops

What?

Robert who cares what u own, how many of, how long, or where u worked? Especially if we cant read it. What have u done for the community as a whole? I have NEVER heard your name before. And also this is not a discussion thread, no one cares if u talked to Terry, and if u wanna tell Rodney that take it to a PM. We dont need a whole page of useless, irrelevant, one sentence posts of you two trying to stroke each other up.

Honestly Terry must be trying to get his support from naive high school dropouts who have no concept of the English language or proper grammar skills. Which why he probably hasnt accomplished anything these past few years.

As far as this thread and USARK? This entire thing was started as an attempt to slander USARK, gain support for a failing, irresponsible, uneducated group who will kill our industry in less than a year.

But im kind of glad this is here and I participated in such a thread, it makes me wanna give more of my hard earned cash to Andrew just to spite you Rodney.

Loyal Fauna supporters, Im friends with alot of you, and some you I cant stand, but I think we can all agree this thread has no relevancy and it would be better to not keep tooting these guys horns. They have no topic, make no sense, and it looks like theyll have enough fun tooting there own horns in their two person lovefest.
