Ask Facebook reinstate our followers and/or our disabled page "Hunt The Trophy Hunters"

The Issue

On July 23rd 2016 Facebook disabled our page with no warning and no explanation. We had 30,000 followers and worked hard for each and every one of them. We are an Anti-Trophy Hunting/Anti-Poaching site. Our mission is to bring awareness to, and an end to, the killing of innocent wildlife for fun, sport, profit and thrills. We recognize these animals have no voice and need us to speak for them. We are their voice. Though we were told we could appeal, after doing so we heard nothing and our site was disabled. We had been stalked continuously by a female hunter who had made it clear she wanted any and all Anti-Trophy Hunting sites taken down, she and her friends came onto our page disguised as members and wrote hateful comments so she could report them. It is impossible to keep up with such malice. We never encouraged this type of comment, nor made them ourselves, and we worked tirelessly to delete them if they occurred. Often we added posts asking our followers to also engage at a higher level, yet we were disabled. To this day we have no real idea why. We are asking Facebook to embrace the basic principles of freedom of speech and basic due process. If we can get our page back we can continue to inform the public about the massive ongoing loss of wildlife globally from hunting and poaching. Facebook allows mutilated and slaughtered animals to be posted over and over again on their pages with smiling hunters posed next to them. We have all seen pictures of hunters with entire packs of dead wolves at their feet, or piles of dead coyotes, elephants, giraffes, thousands of lions, rhinos, donkeys getting their heads crushed, dogs and cats being cooked alive and worse. We work hard to end this and we get taken off while these vile pages continue unabated. Help us ask Fb to look at our case and return our followers, if not our entire page. We are entitled to be heard. We have supported Fb and even spent good money with them to support our cause and our page What happened to Customer Service and what kind of a business model is it that simply turns their backs on the very people who made them successful? In the meantime we have begun a new page: "HTTH Ban Trophy Hunting"...see us there. **Also be aware hunters have a fake "Hunt The Trophy Hunters" page up on fb. That is not us. Clearly our truth makes a lot of people nervous.
