Élise Desaulniers is an author, writer, journalist, vegan and an advocate for animal welfare and animal rights.[1] Her writings have aroused considerable controversy in Quebec, with its large dairy industry.[2][3][4][5]
In 2022, she donated a kidney to an anonymous recipient for altruistic reasons, declaring that childbirth is a greater physical hardship than donating a kidney.[6][7] During her recovery, she published an article explaining the thought-process leading to her decision, her experience with organ donation and an overview of the practices surrounding organ donation in Canada and elsewhere.[8][9]
In 2022, she left her role as head of the Montreal SPCA.[10] As of May 2023, according to her own website, she is the head of Fondation Dépendances Montréal.[11]
Honours
[edit]She won the Grand Prix du journalisme indépendant - opinion ou analyse from the Association des journalistes indépendants du Québec in 2015 for her article Les vrais mâles préfèrent la viande – Convergences du féminisme et de l’antispécisme.[12]
In 2020, her book Tables Véganes, co-written with Patricia Martin, won the Gold award from Taste Canada Awards.[13]
