Who are we?
GAIA (Global Action in the Interest of Animals) is Belgium’s most influential and one of its best-known animal protection organisations. Our actions and campaigns aim to gradually reduce mistreatment and organised cruelty towards animals.
“Calves, too, have a vital need for maternal love. Yet in the dairy industry, newborn calves are separated from their mothers almost immediately after birth. Placed in small metal cages, they suffer from conditions including diarrhoea. Male calves are destined for veal production, with no chance of ever knowing maternal affection. They are denied the right to love, trapped in a sad and compassionless reality…”
