The Change.org petition seeking to get giraffe slaying Merelize van der Merwe has passed 40,000 signatures. Thank you to you all for your support.

Now, let's get it over the 50,000 line and let's force Facebook to listen. Mark Zuckerberg and his henchman Sir Nick Clegg really should do the decent thing: Remove Merelize van der Merwe as a "public figure" on their site and send her to social media Siberia for once and for all.

Thank you again and please do share this petition as widely as possible. A social media post would be especially appreciated.
