Fans Petitioning Against the Death of Beth Greene

Fans of The Walking Dead started a petition on change.org to resurrect Beth Grimes, who died in the mid season finale. Their complaint:

Her death was far too soon and the writers threw away the potential of a perfectly good character. Her story wasn't over. Emily Kinney and her character don't deserve this. There was so much more to be done with her character and they chose to kill her in a disgusting, unsatifying death that caused more anger and dissapointment than shock and mourning. Beth was a symbol of hope that a lot of women could relate to and see themselves in (especially self-harmers who saw her as someone who overcame their suicidal/depressive feelings). By sloppily killing her it just shows that she was used to further a man's (Daryl's) storyline.

They argue that by killing Beth they created yet another Woman in a Refrigerator, it seems Robert Kirkman agrees.
