TODAY'S VIDEO:
In September 2018, a small group of us opened up a non-profit vegan restaurant in London called Unity Diner. Through opening the restaurant we wanted to show off how delicious vegan food is, but at the same time also use the money generated to open up an animal sanctuary.
Two years later it feels amazing to say that we have successfully managed to do just that, and I am so thrilled that the Surge Sanctuary is now a reality. But we couldn’t have done it without the support of everyone who has worked at Unity Diner, eaten at Unity Diner and supported the work that myself and the Surge team do. So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to all of you who have been a part of this journey so far.
We already have a group of residents who have settled in and are getting used to lounging around, eating lots of delicious food and most importantly, living their lives without being harmed or exploited. And we can’t wait to keep growing the sanctuary and welcoming more and more animals so that they too can live the life that they deserve to live.
Thank you so, so much for everything, and I hope that you enjoy this video ❤️

This is beautiful. Can't wait to visit 🌱
So amazing. Thank you so much!
Well done, mate. This is such an achievement!
I'm so happy for you and the residents! Amazing news 👏👏🎊💚🌱
You are my idol!
May every "farm" become a sanctuary.
That would make the true vegan world! 🌎💕
I love you for saying this 🙏
May that become a reality, one farm at a time - or many! 🌱🙏✌️💚
nah, that won't happen and try telling that to farm families like Justin Rhodes, Arms Family Homestead, Art and Bri, White House on the hill, Swedish Homestead or all the other homesteaders here on RUclips who raise their animals for food and some of them who get milk from their cows i'm sure they'd love to hear/agree with that statement 💯%!!! 😉😄
If that happened exactly how would that be sustainable? Since sanctuaries usually run off donations.
I'm proud to call myself vegan.
Spudato, Me too! Vegan for always 😇❤️
I’m not ashamed or let them shame me into eating meat
🌱 🐮 🐷 🐔💕🤍💕 ☮️
1 more here. 😎♥️
I feel the same way
AHHHH i'm so excited and happy!!!
Love your channel! ♥
A plant-based diet is the way to go!!!
@@Yin-Yang-444 No
Look who is here! I've been cooking your udon tofu kimchi in creamy sauce. Due to make a batch this week.
@@ChriseyApple Cool bro
You've made an unbelievable differenece to this world Ed ❤
I'm a meat-eater, I wish I could be vegan, but there's no opportunity for me since I'm 15 year old and my whole family are meat-eaters, this video made me entranced :).
@@jeannedarc7533 Hey there! I was just like you as a teenager, fortunately my parents undetstood my motives and supported me short before I turned 18, but if I can give you a piece of advice is try to learn how to cook well, so you can be more involved in making meals for the family and bring up as many vegan recipes as possible. Hang in there ❤
The sheep comes to you instead of running away. Heaven.
The sheep was a paid actor.
Vegan Jesus
this is epic. they even opened a donorbox for sheep.
Absolutely. I always felt bad when animals would run away from me. I always felt like this shouldn't need to be like this. Humansin their nature are much more like gardeners and caretakers than cold killers. I like the idea of animals not being afraid of me when I walk by.
@@v.a.n.e. like opening up your excretory hole to vomit sociopathic comments.
Woohoo! Amazing to see this! Can’t wait to visit!
You better make a video there, Joey!
I very much support this idea!
You guys HAVE to make a video together at the sanctuary 😭😭💔
Love this so much!! You guys are truly amazing and saving lives 💚
you can be like ed too and own your own! ed started just like you did joey lol
When I get sad, I just come here. It puts a smile in my face.
Visited Surge this weekend to volunteer! We had a great time and were even able to help rescue a poorly lamb and bring her back to the sanctuary. A wonderful experience.
Imagine being a pig and realising you've ended up at Ed's sanctuary. I wish every farmed animal could feel that.
Same
They're not going to realise that though.
@@azlean5323 Then you weren't using your brain. The pig would have realized they weren't being abused anymore. They were in a completely different place, and are seeing new faces (Ed could be one of them). They would experience relief at the this sanctuary.
Az Lean - As a pig, I might not realize who Ed Winters is. But I certainly WOULD realize that I was no longer being forced to spend my life in a small, dark pen, crammed in with masses of other pigs, all of us knee-deep at all times in our own waste, never comfortable and probably never happy. I would realize that I was no longer being treated as an expendable, unimportant part of some strange and horrible massive project, but was being respected and cared for as an individual.
And you know what? In that way, at that time, I think I would come to realize just who Ed Winters is.
Well I would then eat them lol as they would be healthy animals.
Everyone: *2020 is the worst year ever*
Ed: *Allow me to introduce myself*
hahaha
2020 also the year Nine Inch Nails was inducted into the Rock and Rock Hall of Fame. Not a total dumpster fire.
100% he is just a beam of light in such a dark year
2020 will likely be one of the best years of the next decades so enjoy it :)
omg so true xD
the animals walking freely around just made me so happy for some reason
...that anybody would down vote this is revealing of human selfishness.
it's possible other vegans are down voting also as a critique. Surge/Unity/Ed have considerable income, so for the sanctuary to be asking for donations could have monopolising affects on sanctuaries already in existence whom face constant financial challenges. another sanctuary is great of course, but it's just something important to keep in mind.
@@MissJeffBurden i doubt that. it is more likely to be the mindless ignorant trolls who lurk around here.
well yeah ofc, I get that, I wasn't saying otherwise, but also I'd like to think the point I raised is still valid.
Maybe they misclicked 🤣
No way!!!!!! THAT IS INSANE!!!!!!! CONGRATS ED!!!!!!
insanely stupid and useless.
I guess it give depressed and childless vegans some emotional support.
@@derbykirby3627 *Not quite useless then m8
@Joanne Noanne No country take refugees for free. They will either get compensated from the new government or recruit those people as cheap labor.
Not to mention improving their image to the human rights organizations and getting that attention. They will broadcast it everywhere and even get interviews from refugees thanking the country that saved them and possibly attacking their old government if it's an enemy of that country.
Nothing is done without incentive and possible future reward or avoidance of harm.
I regret my Non-Vegan days so much. Feels great to not pay for animals to be slaughtered by the trillions...
I regret it too. I focus on the fact that i am not so stupid anymore atleast. Keep it up
I can never take those 20 years back
does that mean you slaughtered them yourself to avoid paying someone else?
why should you regret anything? I think people need to understand that all the negative aspects of humanity are there for a reason, they teach the positive aspects of humanity to grow. The only way to evolve is through opposition, whether it with yourself or others.
@@mariomorales9984 .
Please become president of the world??!
you have no idea how happy this makes me!! i went vegan as an 11 year old about half a year ago, and now i feel so much... better. it gave me something to live for, and now i want to do as much as possible to help the animals slaughtered every day for the pleasure of their taste. i pretty much credit ed with my journey. 😂 i watched all of his videos and every question i have had and my family has had is answered. i would love to take my family there to show them how animals deserve compassion over cruelty, respect over contempt. i send my love to all you wonderful vegans!!!!!
Definition of a real man, protector of innocent, proactive, facing intense opposition etc, just a sight to be seen
Totally agree. Loved seeing Eric just randomly wander by.
TRUE
I would advise you to refrain from defining what a 'real man' is...
@@Shad0wBl0wer I think that we as men individually define what it means to be a man. Care to give us your definition?
say that to a military unit that they are not a real men bc they dont protect animals
You've just founded a true land of hope and glory.
Thank you so much for every single thing that you do, we're at your side.
Ed, God send people like you to restore our faith in humanity.
Humanity look at yourself for killing insects where ever you see them. Disguesting filth
@@MrSingh1150 no i don't kill insects whereever I see them. Infact I don't kill them at all. If a grasshopper/coackroch/wasps comes to our house me or my mom capture them with polybag and leave outside home.
He's the god himself 🥺
@@Vegan_4The_Animals oh really he is God? Man this is rich coming from a vegantard lol 😆😂
@@MrSingh1150 didnt even respond to his response 😂😂😂😂😂 you are so funny man
Keep up the good work man , this world needs more people like you #veganforlife
100%
I was going to say the same thing.
Definitely definitely definitely definitely!!❤️
A sanctuary! You legend!!!
Ik he's taking it to another level!!!!
What about sanctuary for orphans? Ha doesn't fit your twisted narrative I see
@@MrSingh1150 What are you talking about?
@@MrSingh1150 you could start one instead of expecting others to do it. You’re to busy sitting on your arse playing video games though aren’t you , little boy.
I don't often cry but this made me shed a tear of joy. Well done Ed and the whole Surge/Unity team! The sanctuary will 100% be the first place I visit post-pandemic.
You are realizing the dream of all of us. What an inspiring and exciting moment you are sharing. Just... Thank you for all you are doing!
TAKE MY MONEY! WHERE DO WE SIGN? HOW DO WE GET THERE? DO WE GET TO PET THEM?
If you letting 50 people pet a animal that’s called exploitation
@@DeadDylan facts!!
@@DeadDylan there’s always “that one guy”...
@@DeadDylan not necessarily, animals have different characters too, some of 'em enjoy the spotlight ;) important is to not force the petting onto the animals. If Eric comes to you, you can be friendly, speak to him and if he isn't bothered by it, why not pet him?
@@FranciscoAlvarezTV It's true tho, the animal cannot consent and you're using it for your own pleasure.
When you thought you couldn’t love Ed and his team any more than you already do.
I say Earthling Ed is the Christopher Hitchens of animal activism. This is the best news I've heard all year. I'm crying.
Me too!
Oof Christopher hitch? I hope not
christopher hitchens? no, more like... JESUS :)
Me too. I found this moving towards the end. :,-)
The end of 2020 brought literally heaven on earth. Congratulations Ed! Can't wait to visit and contribute! The future is here now!
Congratulations Ed! The whole world needs to be like Surge Animal Sanctuary!
This one single man is making a huge difference in the world . we need more people like him👍!!
I have a feeling this guy has some serious skeletons in his closet
@@goldenerafanatic4042 What makes you say that ?
@@ralucapopescu2176 you can see it in his face, guilty people behave like saints as a way of covering their sins.
@@ralucapopescu2176 he’s trying to come across as a Christ like figure for animals. People like David koresh come to mind
He is EXEMPLARY ‼️💕🌱🐾🐾🌱🌎🌱☮️
Such terrific news to end a terrible year.
are you out of your mind ?
@@ayartans7920 huh?
Maybe you can plant some trees on these fields so it isnt so "boring" for these cute animals:D
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING
hiii I love your profile pic lol
18 Acres wow that is amazing! When I am a vet I would love to provide the animals with free checkups and surgeries if they need it. This is awesome!
🥰✌🌍🤗
Holy heck, Ed. Get onto this legend ASAP!
I wish a was a billionaire, I would donate billions and billions of my money to your endeavor, projects, and cause. Thank you for what you do my Vegan friend.
bernie doesnt think you should exist
You could give all your money to Ed and he could let you have a job at his diner or sanctuary .
That’s really sweet of you! If you have even the littlest (?) bit of money you want to donate, then that’s just as amazing! Just make sure that you’re financially able to give away some money!
I just realized what i want my profession to be when I'm an adult😭
It combines all my interests and values!
This sanctuary is definitely what i imagine how does the heaven look like.
FACTS!
Totally
em cũng thấy vậy ạ!
I was going to comment the same thing! (although I don't believe in a heaven up there in the sky)
Funny how a sanctuary for other animals also doubles as a sanctuary for humans.
I got goosebumps watching this. So incredibly inspiring and uplifting - keep doing what you do 💗
I feel you definetly experienced massive goosebumps as well. So hopeful When i see these things 😊
This is amazing!!!
Thankyou so so much! We need more people like you in our world. The world would be a much better place 🌍🌱
Finally a genuine human to help create a better world
does surge sanctuary take yulin dog rescues
@@govegannotfeegan4854 why not ask them directly, rather than posing a question (without a question mark) to a random youtuber?
@@arnold-hu4vk i will bai
he's very innocent as the sweetest lamb that anyone one befriends with it
We are all very proud of you Ed. Please don't thank us. We all should rather thank you for the wonderful job you are doing. We all are very proud to be a part of it
Go eat rocks and dirt vegan lol
@@MrSingh1150 Why? Never heard of rice, pasta, fruits, or vegetables?
@@arnold-hu4vk never heard of deficiency of b12 and coq10? Go Google it kid
@@MrSingh1150 Never heard of supplements? Go google it, kid.
@@MrSingh1150 ever heard of saving your planet?
These are gods
It's the closest humanity's come so far to a utopia
A world without Ed would be a terrible one
It is a great benevolent project that deserves recognition.
Calling this sanctuary the closest to what we had to a utopia is a bit of a stretch, though it is a step in the right direction.
And I know you're probably exaggerating, but I'd try not to rely on one person to determine your world view.
It's not about this person.
It's quite big of a step that's never been taken before. We have begun truly expanding the circle
This is amazing news - congratulations to all at Surge. I can't wait to be able to visit at some point. Wonderful wonderful news!
This is the best news I've had in 2020
Vegan Jesus strikes again! Really proud of your achievements and I'm sure more are right around the corner! :)
Vegan Jesus! I love it 😁
He literally is VEGAN JESUS! 🥰🥰🥰
Amen!! 🙏
Vegan Jesus- wow you don’t help yourselves with this culty image you have by calling him vegan Jesus. Next he will start telling you that the only way to save a chicken is to give him a blowy
@@Lewdogg123 it was a joke lmao, chill buddy
The 82 dislikes are ignorant people who can’t see that what we do to animals is vile
Sadly, it's now at 142 😞
@@luvick848 I'm not saddened by that. Every year awareness grows. You'll never convince everyone. But I'm excited about how many are becoming convinced.
sometimes I wonder if there are bots just running around disliking videos
@@brown7180 yeah ikr!
@@luvick848 nooo 😭
just seeing that sheep walking out so freely from that box thing, made me tear up
I immediately started crying. I'm so happy!! 😭😭😭
This is just... fucking incredible.
I think Ed is starting a cult.

Wonderful news! The land is enormous and possibilities are endless. Love all your plans for it. I’m keeping fingers and claws crossed for you guys. Hope to visit one day.
Wow, im impressed! Thank you for the many positive vibes - youre part of the solution.
Incredible news mate, will definitely be there to volunteer one day soon!
Now that's activism!
No .now that's exportation!!!
This literally made my day Ed, this is HUGE. It literally looks like paradise. This has immediately became one of my bucket list visits in life. Any way that we can support this, please let us know 🙏💚
You saw ACTION ! Take YOUR ACTION ! Don't wait ! DONT WAIT ! Find an Idea and TAKE ACTION ! WE ARE WINNING THIS !!!!
I'm actually crying. This is amazing
I love the rewilding idea!! Let's help out the smaller, buggy animals too 🐝
Couldn’t agree more, I was pleasantly surprised to hear it was a plan :)
When the logo popped up at :18 my eyes started tearing up with joy. I’m SO happy for you, Ed & SO happy for all the animals that will now have a good life BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS. My heart is so full hearing this news. Thank you for making 2020 much better
Gosh this is so beautiful !!! Just Crazy!! Awesome job to Ed and all people who participate !! We should have place like this in every city in the world...
I’m telling my son that you are the Lord and Savior Vegan Christ
Lol I love that. 😂🥰
This looks just like paradise!
Fr. This place looks like exactly like I would invision a heaven
Yeah i wish i could go
YESSSS MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY AND FREE!!!!!!
This is amazing! You guys are absolute legends. Thank you so much for all you doing and I can't wait to visit or even volunteer there sometime. Great work guys. ❤️ ❤️❤️
this actually made me cry.
thank you for making this, for making a difference

💕🌱💕
I totally cried too. LOL! Honestly restoring my faith in humanity
this is the best news of the entire year! I'm so proud and happy, that I would take a flight and come there if it was not for the lockdown! So,so,so deeply grateful for your amazing work!
This looks amazing, the education centre is a great addition - hopefully it will really makes people think where your food comes from.
Can't wait to come and visit 💚
Ed, your channel has made me cry so many times with anger for the animals that we've hurt, but it's the first time that I cry with happiness!
Me too! Tears of joy‼️😅
This is my first ever comment on youtube, and I'm glad it's addressed to express my happiness for this amazing project by an amazing activist!!! Greetings from Colombia. If everything goes well, I will be in the UK next year, and for sure, I will be visiting (and maybe volunteering at) this new sanctuary and your Unity restaurant. Thanks for everything you do for animals Ed and all your team!!!!
i wish youtube would show the names of those 50+ people who disliked this video so that we could stay away from those who have absolutely no goodness in their hearts, as they can "dislike" such a great, pure project. unbelievable.
This is the best Christmas gift I've seen so far
Congratulations to all the team for everything
this feels like a christmas present 😊 thank you and everyone who's been working so hard for this
That's beautiful and amazing news Ed! Congrats on this awesome achievement, hopefully the whole world starts respecting and valuing all animals someday soon.
This actually has always been my dream my DREAM to make a huge place to keep animals that I saved and have people help me take care of them and this is what they’ve done in this video but even more than I thought of and planned to have! It’s incredible all the ideas they got!🥺😱✨🎉 I really wanna go there!!!!🥺🥺
Much appreciate all your work.....wonderful
This is amazing!! Congratulations!!! I’ve dm’d you on Insta as there may be something I can help with 😃👍
What a gem!
Me now frantically trying to rearrange my life so I can move to another country and live at a sanctuary
Surely you can find one near you...or start one of your own. We need more!
It does feel like the vegan dream to live at a sanctuary, helping and caring for these innocent creatures...I like to pretend I'm vegan for the planet when I'm asked why (showing them this article, "Global veganism could undo 16 years of fossil fuel emissions"
www.sciencefocus.com/news/global-veganism-could-undo-16-years-of-fossil-fuel-emissions/#:~:text=The%20vegan%20diet%20would%20remove,t%20necessarily%20make%20you%20healthier
)
That way, even if they're a sociopath who doesn't care about the suffering of others, they have to at least pause a moment and consider all the trees cut down etc, and how climate change will in all likelihood affect their quality of life and (gasp) convenience. But honestly, a part of me still can't understand why people can't make the connection between the animals' pain, why a pig suffering is no different than a pig etc.
I know they're 'removed' from the suffering, but considering how much footage is out there showing what happens, it's willful ignorance. Maybe it's just a quirk of brain chemistry, that makes me delight so much in seeing the individual personalities of these animals come out (Ed wasn't exaggerating about the turkeys! My mother had a couple of female turkeys cuz they're so cute, the second one was supposed to be a companion to the first one, but she was bonded to the original hens, and the second turkey would only be friends with the hen she grew up with.....the female turkeys were so huge but so demure and ladylike compared to the hens, who were the sassiest, most judgmental ladies to ever walk this planet!)
anyway!! This was supposed to be just an algorithm comment, but it it is so comforting tho to see all the comments of other vegans and know that there are so many others who feel the same :)
felttt
Same!
the education center is such a great idea! I hope you'll have many groups coming in
Thank you so much for doing all you do!
VEGAN DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE! 💖
Hey Ed, can we all be a part and open surge sanctuaries in other countries too? You should expand surge to nearly all countries. People will donate and make it happen
yes!
yes!
Congratulations! So thankful for everyone involved with getting the diner and the sanctuary opened up. Both of these will help tremendously to save animals!
This is beyond amazing!! Im so proud and happy. Tbh your channel deserves more subscribers and views 💕
It's a beautiful thing to see these animals living free from fear and suffering.
I'm actually crying haha
Thank you, Ed.
gabriel rosa, Me too!😂❤️
That’s fantastic news!! Well done on this amazing achievement and good luck going forward! Would love to come help out whenever I’m next in the UK. This is so inspirational!
Congratulations Ed and friends! Love is a powerful tool
THANK YOU, THANK YOU from all of our hearts!!!! Man and animal kind alike!!!!
This brought tears to my eyes, filled with hope!
Incredible! Congratulations on a magnificent space to save animals. If I am ever able to get to the UK, I will definitely visit.
This guy made me view the world differently. I wish I can be an activist like him but I have a whole different dream. So man continue the good job and I hope many people will realise their mistakes and......
Thank you Ed for being here. You give me hope for a better future.
2020: This year is going to be nothing but hardship, anguish, and suffering! Bwahahaha!!
Ed, right at the end: Yeah, about that....
As it is said, the best is reserved for the end. Great news to close this year for sure!
I am delighted for these & future rescued animals!
Well done & thank you Ed and your team for all that you guys do ! 👍👍👍🙏 This is so very exciting ! 🤗 Good luck with the project and all the best in New Year 2021 ( hopefully a better one 🤞🤞🤞 ) 💚💚💚
Thank you Earthling Ed and congratulations! What an extraordinary accomplishment! I'd love to visit and volunteer some day. Thank you for the love and care you show to Gods precious innocent animal creation.
I got so emotional watching this, I’m so proud of everyone
I finally have some hope for the world. Earthling ed is testimony that there is goodness still alive in humanity. I’m all teared up 🥺🥺❤️
It always warms my heart to see others doing for others, it bring tears to my eyes.
Stunning to see the progress you guys have made. I will follow with my own vegan ventures.
Also I DREAM of seeing plenty of videos from the sanctuary... so long as the animals are happy :)
Stuff like community workday vlogs, special times of the year for certain animals, profile videos of individual animals, info dumps/timelapses on the agriculture side of things, ye, it would be heartwarming and inspiring for me and others
This is incredible, what amazing news, i could cry! These wonderful animals will have a loving safe, home ❤️
