Who We Are: Mission & Purpose
Dedicated to the Elimination of Animal Abuse and Exploitation through Education, Advocacy and Example.
Education:
MAC educates people about animal abuse and exploitation by partnering
with other social justice organizations and sponsoring lectures,
workshops, web-based and other grassroots efforts.
Advocacy:
MAC promotes cruelty-free consumer options, lobbies for pro-animal Maine
legislation, and supports local and national efforts that minimize the
suffering of animals.
Example:
MAC refrains from contributing to animal suffering wherever possible;
this includes demonstrating respect for animals, avoiding the use of
products with animal-derived ingredients and actively encouraging
cruelty-free alternatives.
Since 1989, with the help of dedicated volunteers, the Maine Animal
Coalition has worked to promote compassion towards all animals and to
instill this compassion as a guiding principle in the State of Maine.
