For all those so concerned about the animals welfare and the practices of ARK, I have one thing to say....instead of wasting your time and money bitching about the conditions...help. You know like do something positive...dare I even say the V word...VOLUNTEER..omg what a friggin novel thought. Bitching solves a lot folks. Pathetic. Give a hand up, not knock down someone doing something positive. I love animals, I wish that ARK could provide better care than we have read...we should all ask, what can we do to help. Remember, the ones in the cages are supposed to be the animals.
