TOPIC BRIEFING: Throughout history many atrocious incidents have taken place and change the path of history. From the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD through most recent “Global War on Terror”. All these conflict have been spawned under one common denominator “RELIGION”!!!! Most religions seem to focus in the different in styles of beliefs. Every time these systems of belief collide many innocent lives stop to exist. Through war, executions and persecutions. What makes a person believe so blindly into something that no one can prove its existence? How some individuals are willing to sacrifice their life over their faith? How come many leaders have sent millions of their own into wars over Religion? We will take a journey through the many stories.

TOPIC BRIEFING:
Close your mouth and cover your ears. Open your eyes. Visualise a world where you can't speak and you can't understand the words being spoken to you.
How do you feel?
Now place yourself in a confined space. A space so small, you cannot lie down, nor turn around. You have no exercise for days upon days, no water for hours upon end.
You are surrounded by bullies. People are laughing at you.
How do you feel?
Like a circus animal, one would imagine.
Join Zara's lecture to take a closer look at what goes on behind the curtain and find out what you can do to protect the welfare of animals.
