<p>Just saw your comment so sorry it took so long to reply.

<p>I don't know anything about the politics of this. I gather there are some, but I have only just joined here. ARCO comes across as a closed, elite group that doesn't allow any new members. Maybe it's not so, but that's how it appears. There seems to be no way to even APPLY to join. So, maybe it will die the death of attrition. I throw out this question - how can they advance the interests of non-human animals - NHA - if they have no outreach, and don't welcome new members?</p>
