Book: “The Works of GAIA”

Are you wondering how GAIA managed to put the fight against animal suffering higher on the societal and political agenda? You will find all the answers in this unique historical chronicle, written by Michel Vandenbosch. The book is full of striking anecdotes: some are painful and poignant, others amusing. You will literally be carried away in this captivating story, which reveals new stories and experiences, never revealed in the media.

Criticised by some but supported and admired by many others, Michel Vandenbosch, with GAIA, leaves no one indifferent. If the mythical demigod Hercules accomplished 12 labours, Michel Vandenbosch has set himself a much more arduous task. With GAIA, the animal rights organisation he founded in 1992 with Ann De Greef, he has taken on 15 “impossible missions”. Some have already been accomplished, others are almost complete, and some are still in progress. These “GAIA projects” are evidence of the unwavering determination of the most famous animal advocate in Flanders.

Michel Vandenbosch:

"GAIA's works describe my life's work, dedicated to more animal welfare, less suffering and the recognition of animal rights. I have dedicated more than half of my life to working for a more just and animal-friendly society. I am pleased to see that more and more people share and spread this conviction. The day we all understand that animals are not things, but sentient beings, and we act accordingly, then our society will become more humane and our country, more just and less cruel."
