'Walking Dead' Petition: 30,000 Fans Want [SPOILER] Brought Back from the Dead

When your favorite TV character dies, you can either be sad, or get angry.

A petition on Change.org has been gaining traction after last week's episode of "The Walking Dead," in which a major character was killed in a hostage exchange.

Spoilers ahead!

Rick and the team had almost managed to pull off a peaceful prisoner exchange with the corrupt cops holed up at the hospital. But a moment of anger from Beth upended the situation, and Beth ended up with a bullet in her head as a result.

Fans were upset about the event, as they usually are when a character gets killed on "The Walking Dead" (with the exception, maybe, of Lori). Some fans took their response to the next level, though.

The petition on change.org claims that "the writers threw away the potential of a perfectly good character" when they killed off Beth, and say that the writers essentially sacrificed her to feed Daryl's story.

"Her story wasn't over," the petition reads. "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, unsatisfying death that caused more anger and disappointment 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. We realize that the circumstances she dies in are irreversible, but this is television. Anything is possible. By signing this petition you can at least show your support for Beth. Let's show Emily Kinney how much we love her and want her back."

The petition has already been signed by 35,000 fans. That's a small chunk of the overall audience for "The Walking Dead," but still more than we would expect for Beth.

We just have one question: where was the petition for T-Dog?
