Valéry Giroux is a Canadian philosopher, lawyer and animal rights activist from Quebec. She is an adjunct professor at the Université de Montréal Faculty of Law, associate director for the Centre de recherche en éthique ("Ethics Research Center"), a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics, and an author and speaker on animal ethics issues and veganism, with a notable focus on the topic of antispeciesism through her co-editorship of the antispeciesist journal L'Amorce. Her philosophy defends equal moral consideration for all sentient beings, rejects the view that human use of non-human animals is morally permissible, and advocates an individual right to freedom for all sentient beings, regardless of species, with a focus on negative or republican freedom rather than positive freedom.
