Elizabeth Anile

Elizabeth has been an animal lover and involved in animal issues her whole life. After living a life loving and rescuing cats and dogs from her local neighbourhood, she questioned the difference between those we eat and those we pat and ditched the meat in August 2006. She was inspired to begin ATAAC with long time friend Andrew early 2007 after deciding that the youth of Australia needs to be aware of what the world does to animals, and what we as individuals can do to help end the suffering.
In May 2008 Elizabeth won Girlfriend magazines 'Girlfriend of the Year' for her work for animals and Ataac. She also appeared in a documentary on factory farming cruelty with Daz Cordeux of Kisschasy for Animals Australia. She has recently been nominated for a 'Pride of Australia Medal' in her work for animals.
Andrew Glover
Andrew is seventeen and became veg in 2006. In Andrew's words 'at first, even the idea of being vegetarian or even vegan seemed impossible, but how wrong I was. I have always loved animals, but it wasn't till I watched meet your meat, on Peta2's website that I considered changing my lifestyle. Since then, I have had my eyes opened to other forms of animal cruelty and was so taken back by what humans will do just for profit that I felt the need to create more awareness especially to our generation and the next one. Luckily my friend Elizabeth had the same feelings so we decided to do something about it and started ATAAC. I believe that people can truly make a difference, and that people are evolving, and slowly realizing that if we continue living in the way past generations have been, the world and humanity does not stand a chance to survive. Knowledge is a responsibility and needs to be used and not ignored. I hope to achieve this through Ataac and my music with my bands'.
