Humane Hoax Online Conference 2026
Tuesday, March 17
10:00 – 12:00 pm PT
via Zoom
The Humane Hoax Online Conference examines how humanewashing functions across all farmed animal industry. The expert speakers will explore the critical role of language and narratives in animal advocacy and how the humane hoax helps justify harm. Humanewashing is usually discussed in terms of misleading labels or marketing.
This year we dive deeper and explore the broader narrative of animal advocacy, look at the critical role of language and how it helps shape how harm is understood and justified. We will examine how the humane hoax functions across all animal industry. By recognizing the limits and harms of common narratives, we can develop new frameworks that normalize veganism and show how ending animal exploitation is an ethical imperative. We will explore the topic with a critical eye and challenge this growing trend.
Presenters:
Laila Kassam PhD, Project Phoenix
Dr. Faraz Harsini, Allied Scholars for Animal
Lia Wilbourn, In Defense of Animal Protection
