I am writing with reference to the article that appeared on The Times on December 13 in which Silvio Zammit stated that "students were forced" to sign a petition against animal cruelty in the circus.
On behalf of my fellow students who signed this petition I must say that we feel offended as it was insinuated that we signed the petition under coercion. We would like to have our opinions respected and to confirm what we signed our names to.
