Friends of Maggie's mission is to:

• see Maggie moved to a location where she can enjoy the company of other elephants with acres in which to browse in a year round warm climate.

• bring public attention to Maggie's plight.

• raise public awareness as to a female elephant's needs.

• campaign to encourage the Alaska Zoo to reconsider its decision to keep Maggie in Alaska.

Who is FOM?

Friends of Maggie is an Anchorage-based group of citizens concerned about Maggie's long term welfare.

During 2003 and 2004 FOM provided the Alaska Zoo board with reams of supportive studies and assessments of Maggie by experts in an effort to
persuade the zoo to relocate her.

We recommended state-of-the-art facilities--offering excellent captive elephant programs and staff experienced in socializing new elephants into their
resident herds. These institutions were ready and willing to consider taking her.
