The education of the public, media and the legislature regarding animal protection issues has been a staple of Maine Friends of Animals’ mission. We are always looking for direct outreach opportunities to disseminate the message, from tabling at country fairs to speaking before groups, to passing out literature at circuses to attending the state Democratic and Republican conventions.

MFOA is particularly excited about its new involvement with a program that offers a unique opportunity to educate others by working with Maine elementary schools to teach young children the responsibility of having a pet and how to care for and protect companion animals.
