Purpose and Objectives

The Tri-State Amphibian and Reptile Association was founded in November 1999, by cold-
blooded animal enthusiasts from Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio.

* T.S.A.R.A will provide members with knowledge, assistance and resources that are
necessary to keep you and your cold-blooded friend happy and healthy. Through
education, fellowship, and sharing.

* T.S.A.R.A. is a service-oriented association dedicated to the greater good of all through
compassion, understanding, and well meaning interaction.

* We understand the importance and necessity for the scientific study of our cold-blooded
friends; our mission is to assist the layperson and pet owner in their study and keeping of
reptiles and amphibians.

* We are a non profit organization and do not gear our efforts towards personal financial
gain.

* Exploitation of any animal for this purpose will not be tolerated.

* All of our members accept the ethical responsibilities of the proper treatment and caring of
animals.

We hope that all we come in contact with will gain from our association in the most
benevolent of ways.
