The necessary first step is to become a vegan.
You wanna empower animals?
You wanna do something for animals?
Stop eating them, wearing them, using them.
Stop buying into the system of exploitation ... completely.

:: Abolition of Animal Consumption or Incremental Welfare Improvements?
Elated is an abolitionist organisation. What better way to end animal suffering than to stop eating them? Incremental welfare improvements for animals in factory farms may be commendable, because any efforts to reduce animal suffering is worthwhile. However, when one person becomes vegan, hundreds of animals' lives are saved completely every year. This creates the total end to suffering for the animals involved and as such all Elated's resources are focussed on vegan education.

Elated will not endorse any type of animal product. There are instances where organic and free-range farming is more "humane" to the animals concerned, but the fact remains that:
  • all farm animals are deprived of their right to autonomy in their own lives. They simply cannot make their own decisions regarding where and how they live, how and with who they reproduce, how they take care of their young and where and how they spend their time
  • all farm animals are brutally murdered, often at a young age for human consumption.


Their lives are
as important to the animals
as ours are to us.

No torture or murder of
animals will be condoned
for any reason whatsoever.



:: Compassionate Direct Action

The single driving concept behind all Elated's actions is compassion. Compassion towards animals, humans and our own personal spiritual journey. As such, we do not endorse violence towards property or other sentient beings. We believe that hatred and the desire for vengeance sours the heart and soul of the person who harbours them.

Compassionate direct action engages in vegan education as the most effective and enduring way to save the lives of animals.
