Elated was founded to raise awareness for the suffering of farm animals and promote a compassionate, vegan lifestyle.

There is so much information available on the truth behind your food. Contrary to public opinion, it is really easy to follow a vegan lifestyle. All it takes is a paradigm shift to truly see what lies behind the food on your table.

Changes in awareness come from a grassroots level:
• one-on-one interactions
• engaging in non-confrontational discussion
• changing the world one heart at a time
• being willing to learn and impart knowledge

• empowering people with information that will change their lives and end the suffering of animals
• encouraging people to see the connection between animal sentience and the animals they eat

This is the most uplifting thing anyone can do. It is amazing how many people truly care and want to make a difference. Every day I am filled with a sense of hope at the positive responses received from the dissemination of vegan information.

I just had my best day tabling ever there were too many great stories to list here! For example, a teacher said she'd just finished writing a module on sustainable food for the world that morning, but after seeing my pamphlets, she was going to re-write it! I met an animal science graduate, who looked at the Even If and said, so sadly, "Yes, this is exactly what I learned and I can't work in this field anymore." Another man told me about how he went vegetarian 15 years ago after having to run a marketing campaign for an animal product manufacturer. He said that after seeing all the absolutely disgusting horror, he refused to run the campaign, resigned, and never ate animals again. He said that he was thinking about going vegan just last week and that it was perfect timing to meet me.
 

:: Comments by visitors to the stand:

"I spoke to you today at the festival and I just wanted to say thanks. You reminded me that I need to become a vegan again. You can count me in! 100 animals will not die this year! Thanks for the inspiration"

"Thank you for doing what you're doing!"
"This is heaven!"
"I'm so glad I found you today."
"Is this about being vegan? I really want to go vegan!"

and a real win for animals and humans everywhere:
"I did have a chance to read the pamphlets, that same evening in fact. And I'm happy to say I've been a committed vegetarian for 2 and a half weeks now and that I've never slept better.

I initially thought I could gently phase out the free range chicken or something and make what I referred to in my head as "educated compromises" but I'm delighted to say that I can't stomach meat:-) I was at a braai about a week after we spoke and I tried to do the chicken thing. And I couldn't. I felt grossly ill afterwards. That's probably been the biggest surprise."

I've found that each time I visit a centre I will often meet the same person and while the first time they will refuse to even look at me, the next time they might take a pamphlet, but refuse to interact, then the third time they will stop and chat; asking tons of questions and honestly engaging. This is real, raw emotion, the stuff life is made of. Taking part in vegan education and leafleting is the most fulfilling thing I can do to help animals.

So why don't YOU turn off the tv, get up off that couch, get out there and help spread the message Volunteer at the Elated information table - it'll be fun !

"For every person you convince to go vegetarian,
you double the impact of your life’s choices.
So, if tomorrow you hand out 60 booklets to new people,
and just one person decides to go vegetarian,
you will have saved, in only one hour, as many animals
as you will save with every choice you make
during the rest of your life"

Matt Ball, Vegan Outreach
