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] This charity does not offer an English language version of its website, and it appears therefore to cater exclusively to francophones. Of note, Mme. Desaulniers' own website also does not offer an English version of its content.[12]

Honours

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.[13]

In 2020, her book Tables Véganes, co-written with Patricia Martin, won the Gold award from Taste Canada Awards.[14]
