Getting One’s Goat – A Cheesy Conundrum – Goat vs Goats vs Goat’s vs Goats’ Cheese

Matthew Steeples explores the conundrum of how to describe cheese made from goat’s milk and shares the eclectic thoughts of everyone from Susie Dent to Alan Rusbridger, Christine Hamilton, Jay Rayner, Matthew Jukes, Mic Wright, Nigella Lawson, Matthew Wright, Tom Parker Bowles and Samantha Markle on goat cheese

At the River Café in Hammersmith, the menu references serving Rabiola Rochetta cheese from Piemonte that is made with “goat’s milk” to get around a conundrum that has “got the goat” of many over the years.

London’s most traditional establishments, amongst them The Ritz and Wiltons, avoid the pasturised matter completely. They respectively just list “artisan cheeses” and “farmhouse cheeses” on their menus, whilst the self-declared “old fashioned restaurateur” James Chiavarini, proprietor of one of J. K. Rowling’s favourite haunts in Kensington, Il Portico, told me: “I haven’t the faintest idea to be honest!” when I enquired as to his thoughts on a cheese that is rather like Marmite in being both loved and loathed.

That matter? The debate over whether a restaurant or grocery store should list cheese made from goat’s milk should as “goat cheese” or whether it should be “goat’s cheese” or “goats cheese” or “goats’ cheese” even. Also described by the French as “chèvre,” one respondent to my questioning argued that it should, in fact – like “soured” rather than “sour” cream – be written-up as “goated.”

Detested by multiple respondents to my inquistive questioning including charity fundraising supremo Lorraine Burns, LBC Weekend Breakfast presenter Matthew Wright and TalkTV Crime Suspect host Peter Bleksley, this contentious cheese made with milk supplied by goats attracted the attention of Channel 4’s Countdown’s ‘Dictionary Corner’ guru Susie Dent. Her synopsis? “Oxford Dictionaries give both goat cheese and goat’s cheese. I usually go for the latter.”

Though other views (and plenty of brands with differing approaches) follow below, ‘La Dent’ – as The Observer’s restaurant critic Jay Rayner referenced this “God in these matters” – will now, excuse the pun, be the “goat-to” Queen of “goat cheese.” This cheesy conundrum can now finally be put out to pasture allowing grammar pedants to return to waging war on Waterstones (which should surely have always remained Waterstone’s).

In Broadstairs, lovers of the product made with goat’s milk can enjoy a bring-and-join-in ‘Cheeseboard Tuesday’ gathering weekly every Tuesday from 2pm until 5pm hosted by the delightfully delectable Sam Hawkins at The Magnet, 37 Albion Street, Broadstairs, Kent, CT10 ENE. Other cheese varieties, condiments and bread will be available.

The legendary lexicographer Susie Dent – “That woman in Dictionary Corner” – was first to respond to my query about the GOAT/GOATS/GOAT’S/GOATS’ conundrum. The author of ‘Words From The Heart’ remarked: “Oxford Dictionaries give both goat cheese and goat’s cheese! I usually go for the latter.”

Notable food critic for ‘The Observer’ and famous face on the telly box Jay Rayner responded to the same question via email. He observed: “I won’t deny: it’s one I hesitate over. So much so that I couldn’t immediately tell you what I put in the copy I file. So I had a look at a few of the reviews in which I’ve mentioned it and it’s clear our house style is ‘goat’s cheese’. Just as it would be ‘cow’s milk’. That said I’ve had a Quick Look online and my conclusion is that, as with so much in language, there is no definitive answer. You could make a plausible argument for three of the four. I’m just not sure you could argue for ‘goats cheese’ without any possessive. That said La Dent is god in these matters and I’ll happily defer to her.”

Fellow food critic Tom Parker Bowles, also on Twitter, argued: “I’d prefer goat’s cheese. As it is the cheese of a goat. Although obviously the end product is the result of many goats’ milk. So could be either. Goats cheese, on the other hand, is plain wrong.”

The Cambridge Dictionary, giving examples of usage, declared the noun “goat cheese (also goat’s cheese)” to mean “cheese made from goat’s milk, usually soft and white.” Elsewhere, the Milking Goat Association share of goats in Britain: “The UK dairy goat industry is made up of 40-45 thousand goats producing just less than 34 million litres of milk commercially. This compares to a UK dairy herd of 1.9 million cows producing just less than 15 billion litres of cows’ milk (2014/5). Though significant, goat dairy remains a specialist market with goat milk representing less than 0.2% of the volume of cows’ milk produced in the UK. Goat cheese (UK and imported) is now in the top 10 cheeses consumed in the UK. Goats’ milk produced in the UK is primarily sold as butter, cheese and yogurt.” Clearly both luminaries in their respective fields favour the use of GOAT in regard to the cheese produced using goat’s milk.

Author and screenwriter Samantha Markle takes the view that it is GOAT’S CHEESE and argued: “Goat’s milk. I’ve never heard anyone say ‘I don’t drink cow milk.’ I have only heard ‘cow’s milk’ (possessive). It logically follows that since cheese is made from milk, we would say goat’s milk/goat’s cheese… I think.”

Former editor of ‘The Guardian’ turned editor of ‘Prospect’ Alan Rusbridger hesitatingly observed: “I’ve always thought goats’ cheese. But I may be wrong.”

Equally, legendary British battleaxe and media personality Christine Hamilton shared: “I have no idea, but let’s go for goat’s cheese or goats’ cheese – it must be one of those!”

Nigella Law s on stated: “I generally go for goat’s cheese, though I feel goat cheese is also ok.”

Taking an entirely different view was Charlie Baker of ‘The Fence’ magazine. He opted for GOATS’ over all the other options.

Doyenne in raising funds for cancer charities Lorraine Burns from Broadstairs, Kent responded and made clear that she’d solved the matter for once and for all: “What a contentious little question indeed. However, I believe that goat’s cheese is correct – the cheese produced using the milk of goats and I won’t stand for any other usage. Please inform all other recipients of the email, there is no need to respond, the issue is resolved.”

Writer, media critic and ‘Conquest of the Useless’ newsletter creator Mic Wright was his usually to the point self. He stated: “It’s goat’s cheese or goat cheese. Never goats cheese. And chèvre if you’re fancy or French.”

Colin Steeples asked: “Is it not about how many goats produced the milk for the cheese but what kind of animal produced it? Goat’s cheese for me.”

Ex Scotland Yard detective turned TalkTV ‘Crime Suspect’ host and author Peter Bleksley didn’t have a view on the apostrophe, but he did have a clear view on the cheese: “It’s rank. You’re welcome.”

Former 7/7 counter-terror Scotland Yard detective turned investigator and author of ‘Finding Suzy’ David Videcette shared: “It’s not goat’s cheese when it’s on my plate, moreover by the time it has arrived in my plate it’s more likely to be goats cheese. But when I order it’s goat cheese, obviously.” Some may find that analysis a little cryptic.

Restaurateur James Chiavarini – owner of the much loved Il Portico on Kensington High Street and the adjoining more recently opened La Palombe –was more honest than most. He declared: “I haven’t the faintest idea to be honest!”

The Grammar Monster website favours “goat’s” over other options.

Screenwriter turned ‘Byline Times’ founder and executive editor Peter Jukes just believes the cheese to be “great… however you spell it.”

Respected wine writer Matthew Jukes went against the grain of the dictionaries and favours GOATS’ cheese.

Restaurateur and bon viveur Rex Leyland – former proprietor of Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea institution Foxtrot Oscar – was more interested in the smell of the cheese. He suggested “cheese from goats” as an alternative description.

Joining those believing the dairy product to be “disgusting” was LBC radio host Matthew Wright. He shared: “Anything that smells like the cloven-hoofed beasties turns my stomach.”

Nine notably different examples of labelling on packaging of cheese made from goat’s milk… Illustration of utterly no consistency

Tesco opt for GOATS’ cheese and were featured in an August 2013 article in ‘The Guardian’ by David Marsh. Included in their ‘Mind Your Language’ section and titled: “If you can’t use an apostrophe, you don’t know your shit,” Marsh said of the retailing giant: “Tesco, Britain’s biggest supermarket, is in a class of its own when it comes to apostrophe abuse. You’d think that someone among its half a million employees would know better than to put up signs saying ‘Kids toys.’ It gets worse in the clothing department: a simple ‘Kids’ seems fair enough, but the signs nearby are a scarcely credible ‘Mens’ and ‘Womens.’ The meaning may be clear but the sloppiness demonstrated by this insult to the intelligence of its customers makes you wonder what else the company gets wrong. Sell-by dates? Prices? I wonder how far I’d get with a job application to Tesco if I wrote something like this: ‘Id really like a job at Tescos, I think its a great company, it sell’s everything from kids toys to Mens. p.s I also like the BOGOF’s.’”

Waitrose & Partners opt instead for GOAT’S and market their “British” offering as “mild, creamy and fresh tasting.”

Marks & Spencer also opt for GOAT’S and currently sell an “English soft” that is “mild and creamy” that is “crafted at the Lubborn Creamery, Somerset.”

Sainsbury’s, however, follow Tesco and go for GOATS’ also with the “sweet and mild” cheese made in Somerset.

Another product offered online, “Capricorn” has no apostrophe at all. It is simply GOATS cheese.

A firm named Olympus simply opt for GOAT as labelling on the packaging of their “traditional” offering.

On Twitter, @AdzWhitcombe shared an image with me of a goat with a pipe on the packaging of a “smoked goat cheese” called “The Smokin’ Goat.” He argued: “It would be bad for pregnant women to eat this particular cheese judging by the cover image.”

Another brand, Melis, to promote its “white soft cheese in brine” that is supposedly “a wonderful cheese with a rich taste and mild goat’s [note the apostrophe] aroma” as GOATS MILK CHEESE. Confusion clearly reigns at this particular firm when it comes to apostrophes.

Wildly Delicious opt for a more artisan look and follow the Oxford and Cambridge Dictionaries suggestion with plain old GOAT. They do also reference their cheese as “chèvre” however and thus keep both the Brits and French satisfied.

The varied thoughts of the Twitterati on this contentiously cheesy topic….

Marlene, Marlene… Ngozi Fulani (Born ‘Marlene Headley’) – The Gruesome Grifter of 2022

As ‘Harry & Meghan’ premieres on Netflix, a video of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s supporter Marlene Headley (AKA ‘Negozi Fulani’) proves her to be nothing but an attention seeking grifter

On the day that Netflix’s ‘moanathon’ Harry & Meghan ‘drops’ millennial style, a video of that “grifter that’s gotta grift” Ngozi Fulani – whose name at birth was actually Marlene Headley – is also doing the rounds. In it, noxious nuisance Ms Headley, as many are now referencing this toxic troublemaker, is shown parading around blatantly telling people how she has to dress up to get noticed.

Clearly illustrating herself as someone prepared to act up in order to get any kind of attention at all, here again is proof that the entire debacle with Lady Susan Hussey was orchestrated and planned in a very twisted fashion. It was anything but a chance encounter on the part of Headley – a woman who previously effectively suggested our now Queen Consort, Camilla, to be someone who inflicted “domestic abuse” against the mendacious menace formerly known as Meghan Markle – and the victim in all this, it is becoming more and more apparent, was actually an 83-year-old who had served her nation diligently for over 60 years.

Yesterday, GB News reported that Ms Headley had issued a further statement about an incident she’d previously claimed she didn’t want to make a fuss about. On Monday, she supposedly ludicrously opined:

“What took place at the event is now well-documented, and sadly is something that occurs on an all too regular basis… I have experienced first-hand what happens when a black woman faces adversity and has to overcome additional barriers when trying to report it… I remain dedicated to raising awareness around cultural competency, and will go to Buckingham Palace, or anywhere else, if it will help raise positive change and save lives.”

Meanwhile elsewhere in the Daily Mail’s ‘Ephraim Hardcastle’ column this morning, reference was made to one half of the Duchess of Sussex’s supplier of private jets, Sir Elton John. It was noted:

“With Sir Elton John confirmed to headline Glastonbury, Prince Philip’s biographer Gyles Brandreth recalls sitting with the duke before a performance by the Rocket Man.”

“‘Looking at the programme,’ says Gyles, ‘Philip groaned, ‘Oh God, Elton John… again.’”

Sadly, still titleless David Furnish, Sir Elton’s other half and ‘close friend’ of Danny Williams, didn’t get a look-in and yet again the late Duke of Edinburgh was proven to be a far wiser sort than his drippy grandson in his observations on good and bad character.

Editor’s Note – Unlike as is the case in many publications, this article was NOT sponsored or supported by a third-party.

Pictured Top (left to right) – Ngozi Fulani explaining how she dresses up to get attention in a video clip shared on TikTok; Prince Harry with his supplier of private jets Sir Elton John and hubby David Furnish; Lady Susan Hussey showing herself to actually be anything but a racist and the Duchess of Sussex called out for what she actually is: “The meanest girl in the world!”

Very interesting indeed 🤥 pic.twitter.com/YxkX4xSRw7
— Ephemeral Clarity (@chris_London2) December 5, 2022

Ngozi Fulani has repeatedly banged on about how she didn’t like Lady Susan Hussey having touched her during their encounter; the hypocrite, shown here behind Queen Consort Camilla at the very reception where that encounter occurred, is pictured touching somebody else and up close and personal with another. Here is somebody who has turned a storm in a teacup into almighty PR opportunity for nobody but her nasty self.

The ‘Daily Mail’ had a pop at Sir Elton John on the day of his friend Prince Harry’s Netflix premiere. In mentioning that Prince Philip was anything but a fan of titleless David Furnish’s hubby, they pointedly showed the late Duke of Edinburgh to be a far better judge of character than his soppy grandson.

When he’s not paddling around whilst holidaying in the land of olive oil, David Furnish (pictured here with the male ‘friend’ he bought a flat for, Danny Williams) likes to make programmes to air on Netflix with his female chum the Duchess of Sussex. The programmes, unsurprisingly, just like this dastardly duo themselves, don’t prove to be very popular.

Today, with their Netflix premiere, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have signaled what should be next for them. This greedy, grasping, grubbing duo should be told: “It’s curtains for you!” by King Charles and then they should be sent off to where they belong: Siberia.

Twitter reacts to Ngozi Fulani’s ongoing publicity stunt at the expense of an 83-year-old pensioner…

Saving Ibex; Stopping Switlyk

As the ‘Guardian’ report on trophy hunters flocking to Sudan to shoot rare ibex, we remind the public to support our petition to put a stop to mentally unhinged ibex slaughterer Larysa Switlyk

This morning, the Guardian reported that “conservationists fear for endangered Nubian ibex in Sudan as westerners [are] sold permits to hunt” them.

In an article in the paper’s ‘Global Development’ section – which is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation – Kaamil Ahmed remarked:

“Sudanese conservationists have accused trophy hunters of exploiting the country’s political transition to hunt the country’s unprotected rare animals.”

“Photographs posted online of westerners posing with the body of a rare Nubian ibex angered Sudanese wildlife campaigners this week. They called for Facebook to remove the pages of tour groups promoting such hunts.”

“While wildlife hunters have long come from the Gulf, Abubakr Mohammad, a biodiversity researcher, has seen a recent trend for western trophy hunters to come too, which he said could be a result of the country being more open to outsiders since the removal of Omar al-Bashir, the former president. Permits for hunting are being given out without sufficient scrutiny, says campaigners.”

Elsewhere, our Change.org petition against Larysa Switlyk, a marauding monster with a penchant for killing rare ibex in Krygyzstan, Spain and Turkey, is fast approaching 20,000 signatures. Equally, our second against giraffe slayer Merelize van der Merwe will soon be at 45,000.

If you have not signed, please take a moment to do so and if you have, yet again we kindly request that you share as widely as possible. These reprehensible individuals truly must be stopped.

Pictured top: Larysa Switlyk and an associate posing smugly with an ibex she massacred.

Larysa Switlyk’s delight at killing rare ibex is clear in these photographs. In reality, the snaps simply illustrate a woman who truly belongs in Bedlam.

After murdering a Bezoar ibex in November 2018, wicked wastrel Switlyk took to Twitter to boast about her “dream” coming true. Whilst most would consider this a “nightmare,” 386 fellow psychos pressed ‘like’ on this morally reprehensible tweet.

Last week, Larysa Switlyk took a break from slaying rare ibex and announced on Instagram that “the new hunting trend in Florida” is slaughtering “invasive” iguana. She claimed: “They are also tasty to eat and one can use their skins to make leather goods out of.” She justified herself by arguing: “Iguanas cause damage to the infrastructure of sidewalks.” It’d be interesting to know if she’d also support, perhaps, say, shooting pests on motorised scooters on pavements on the same basis.

In this gruesome 4:04-minute video shared by Donald Trump Jr.’s bestie Larysa Switlyk on YouTube in July 2019, the lover of shoving sex toys up the bums of dead sheep shot a Bezoar ibex and then posed with bits of it. She claimed: “Lots of conservation efforts and government regulations go into managing these ibex,” but neglected to mention that for each one shot, the species moves closer to being wiped out.

In another video, wholeheartedly evil Switlyk declared: “Discover what dreams are made of” in a video about slaying mid Asian ibex in Krygyzstan. In the twisted footage, her first shot failed to kill one unfortunate animal and then after letting it suffer for some time, she childishly giggled over her “awesome” massacre whilst stroking the blood covered beard of her unfortunate victim.

40,000 turn on Mental Monster Merelize van der Merwe

As our Change.org petition seeking to ban giraffe slayer Merelize van der Merwe tops 40,000 signatures, the psycho publicity addict shared a CBS documentary of another mental monster killing a giraffe

Elephant and giraffe murderer Merelize van der Merwe used to love the fact that 400 people she termed “snowflakes” signed a petition seeking to ban her from Facebook. Now, in less than a month, our new petition aiming to achieve the same has topped 40,000.

Now, aside from banning us from commenting on her Facebook “public figure” page, van der Merwe has attempted to justify her actions by sharing a video of another monster, an American named Tess Talley, bragging about killing a giraffe also.

In doing so, this deranged deviant has yet again proven she’s nothing but clinically insane and again today we urge those that haven’t already to help get our Change.org petition to ban her from the social media medium past 50,000 signatures. Please do so by clicking here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIlJ61wwWQY
40,000 turn on Mental Monster Merelize van der Merwe – The YouTube video shared by Merelize van der Merwe as part of her campaign to justify massacring a giraffe featured another wicked wench who’d done the same thing named Tess Talley.

Deranged deviant Merelize van der Merwe on…

Death threats

“So, after all these death threats from people sitting comfortably behind a computer 15,000 kilometers away, it made me realise one thing… I haven’t hunted enough! So, I’ll go hunt some more tonight!”

Mental disorders

“We have seen mental disorders grow especially with social media giving these people a voice and openly expressing unnatural hatred towards people they never met with Instagram and Facebook. We in the hunting industry I’m sure deals [sic] with more of these unstable people then the psychiatric ward itself.”

“So please next time if someone attacks you for hunting, just remind them they forgot their pills this morning and let’s get these people under control.”

Truth and poetry and hunting

“Truth is like poetry and most people f**king hate poetry… Same when it comes to hunting and conservation people only listen to what they want to hear and not the truth.”

Liberals

“It’s just these new age liberals who piss and moan and say hunting isn’t natural… You aren’t natural.”

Kenya

“Kenya has sold its soul to the devil, AKA animal rights activists.”

Prince Harry

“Soon he’ll be back in diapers.”

Donald Trump

“I love Trump because he pisses off all the people I can’t stand.”

“What a privilege it was to look up to a President and know how a President should run a country. Today many are heartbroken across the world.”

“I salute you President Trump. What a man you are and may God bless you on your next chapter in life.”

On those that opposed Trump

“Eat a bag of dicks you dirty f**king communists.”

Celebrating killing an elephant

“After the elephant was down I went to buy beer and gin for team motivation. The next day I looked like a red crab.”

Why she likes killing elephants

“Tell me how hunting [elephants] doesn’t benefit people and the ecosystem.”

How she feels after a “kill”

“I was like a child for two weeks, counting the days. Afterwards I was flooded with emotions.”

People who protect elephants

“Never underestimate the power of stupid.”

People who object to the vile images she shares on social media

“To the dumb f**k who tried to report my video, take this and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.”

“If you’re looking for a safe space, my page ain’t it… Move along, snowflake.”

Charity and hunting

“Charity is not sustainable, hunting is.”

Killing endangered species and conservation

“The only people protecting these animals are trophy hunters.”

Why she massacres endangered species

“In the end I’m nothing but yet another slave to this trade and a willing one too. The only time I find peace is living life on the edge. I firmly believe one is born like this and not made.”

“We will keep on fighting the animal rights mafia propaganda as hunting has proven sustainable for wildlife.”

“A day without blood is like a day without sunshine… Nature is not a Disney fairytale.”

40,000 turn on Mental Monster Merelize van der Merwe – In recent days Merelize van der Merwe (left) has posted about how she got malaria in Africa from the water and posed with a picture of herself “sipping a pink gin and tonic in Zambia” after “6 months non-stop 7 days a week of hunting.” She also lauded fellow mentally unhinged giraffe murderer (right) Tess Talley.

40,000 turn on Mental Monster Merelize van der Merwe – The disgraceful picture that made clinically crackers Merelize van der Merwe internationally infamous.

40,000 turn on Mental Monster Merelize van der Merwe – This monster has also taken pleasure in killing elephants and leopards. She must be banned by Facebook and her slaying of endangered species must be forever stopped.

A Call To Clegg
Matthew Steeples calls on Sir Nick Clegg to listen to the 36,500 people who’ve signed our Change.org petition seeking giraffe slayer Merelize van der Merwe being banned from Facebook

Former leader of the Liberal Democrats turned head global PR man for Facebook The Right Honourable Sir Nicholas Clegg has been getting a lot of stick of late.

Once considered a “great communicator” but a bit of a poodle to his coalition government partner, David Cameron, Clegg was meant to turnaround Facebook’s reputation in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, but instead last week was branded: “Clegg, the pampered prince of PR” by The Times and “the Prince Harry of politics” by the Daily Mail.

Now, today, I have an idea for Sir Nick Clegg that could help reverse his bad fortune of late and that is to listen to the 36,500 people who’ve signed our Change.org petition seeking to ban Merelize van der Merwe, a wicked woman whose husband bought her the ‘opportunity’ to massacre a giraffe as a Valentine’s Day present, from posting her gruesome content on the pages of the social media organisation he works for.

That van der Merwe was even able to share graphic images and a video even of this ‘kill’ on Facebook is frankly outrageous and today I ask Sir Nick:
- Is publishing barbaric actions of this nature something that you think is acceptable on a site used by millions across the globe?
- Don’t you think it is time to ban this wicked wench and those like her from using Mark Zuckerberg’s medium for their personal pleasure and profit also?
Elsewhere on Change.org, 19,100 people have signed our petition seeking to ban the bear slaying barbarian Larysa Switlyk from Instagram, a company bought by Facebook in 2012 for £760 million ($1 billion). Perhaps Sir Nick, couldn’t you have a word there too?

A Call To Clegg – Sir Nick Clegg pictured with Facebook founder and Instagram owner Mark Zuckerberg.

A Call To Clegg – Sir Nick Clegg once posed next to the logo of a charity called Millie’s Trust. It featured a giraffe and though he plainly wanted to show support for that, now he should show support for living giraffes and support the 36,500 people demanding giraffe slayer Merelize van der Merwe be banned from the pages of the social media company he is currently paid £2.7 million per year to work for.

A Call To Clegg – Merelize van der Merwe has 99,000 followers on her “public figure” Facebook page. On it, she shares images of herself massacring amongst other animals elephants, hippos, lions and leopards. How is it acceptable that she is allowed to post such on a social media website, Sir Nick?

A Call To Clegg – Larysa Switlyk has 99,000 followers on her Instagram page. On it, she shares imagery of herself massacring amongst other animals alligators, bears, goats, hippos and peacocks. She even once posed in a field in the UK with a blood covered sex toy and the body of a sheep she’d shot. How is it acceptable that she is allowed to post such on a social media website, Sir Nick?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EhqeZ0vYJ4&feature=emb_logo
A Call To Clegg – Viewer caution advised: Merelize van der Merwe posted this video of herself slaughtering a giraffe in Limpopo, South Africa on 24^th February. It has been viewed by over 3,000 people and unsurprisingly resulted in international outrage. It is now time that Facebook put a stop to this deranged deviant profiting from her sickening activities and it would do the social media giant utterly no harm to send her to social media Siberia.

Merelize The Monster

As our petition seeking Facebook banish Merelize van der Merwe tops 25,000 signatures in less than a week, this giraffe slaying monster sickly shares a video of her kill on YouTube

After we featured the story of a monster whose husband bought her the ‘opportunity’ to slaughter a harmless giraffe on Sunday and began a Change.org petition seeking to ban Merelize van der Merwe from Facebook, it went viral.

Today, in spite of the Mirror, Unilad and The Sun featuring our petition against the citrus farming freak, van der Merwe audaciously announced: “I created work for 11 people that day… And a lot of meat for the locals.”

Worse still, ignoring international outrage about what she so callously did, in a 1:34-minute video that YouTube has disgracefully allowed to remain live, van der Merwe has shared footage of herself killing the giraffe “on a private farm in Smartwater, Limpopo.” She accompanied it with a tune by Johnny Clegg titled Scatterlings of Africa and the following captions:

“Shot with a 30-06. Perfect frontal neck shot!”

“The second rifle was a .450 Rigby. Was awesome to do my coup de grace, even if it wasn’t necessary!”

“Thank you to my wonderful husband and my PH Chrisjan Bakker!”

Today, we urge all readers who haven’t signed already to join the 25,000 who’ve already signed our Change.org petition seeking to get Merelize van der Merwe banned from sharing imagery of her grossly offensive ‘activities’ on Facebook. Do so by clicking here and please also share widely. This monster must be stopped.

Pictured top: Bleached blonde bimbo Merelize van der Merwe in an image where she “showed-off” her tacky tattoo and also a video clip of herself taking a second shot at the innocent giraffe she massacred online also.

Merleize The Monster – The video of Merelize van der Merwe massacring a harmless giraffe is quite beyond sickening. We advise viewer caution.

Merleize The Monster – Merelize van der Merwe reacted to our petition and articles about her by smugly posing with a can of ‘Lite’ beer. She arrogantly accompanied it with the caption: “While I make headlines across the globe, thought I’ll take a second to have a beer and enjoy our game farm. I hope that I can at least claim some profit from all the Kleenex used this week for all the emotionally unstable people out there.”

Merleize The Monster – In another image posted on her Facebook page, this clinically crackers cretin shared an image of an elephant that had been shot with a dart. How can Facebook and their seven-figure salaried ex-leader of the Liberal Democrats vice president of global affairs Nick Clegg consider this acceptable?

Hippo Harridan 2021 – Larysa Switlyk

Not content with butchering bears, barbarian bitch Larysa Switlyk has headed to Africa to harm hippos; this harridan must be stopped and banned from bragging about such on Instagram also

After slaughtering a hippopotamus in Zambia in recent days, Larysa Switlyk took to Instagram to share an image of herself with the poor, deceased creature. Of it, she declared: “Here’s a closer look at the hippo’s tusks! I’m extremely blessed to live the life I live, but it definitely doesn’t come without hard work!”

Quite what “hard work” is involved in deciding to take the life of a majestic mostly herbivorous mammal will puzzle anyone with half a brain, but, in the case of the shover-of-sex-toys-up-the-bums-of-dead-sheep Switlyk, even Einstein would struggle to piece together her complete lack of logic. Here is someone who kills for the pleasure of taking home a trophy and a snap for her Instagram followers and utterly nothing else.

Whilst her deranged followers congratulated her and discussed how they were “curious” to eat hippo meat, self-declared “I’m not pretending I’m not a trophy hunter, but trophy hunting is good” Switlyk confirmed the slaughtered beast to be “good table fare.” She also reported she “had to get a tractor” to “drag” the poor beast out of the water.

Going further, this sadistic slayer of bears justified her latest barbaric actions by bragging: “I shot a hippo and fed a village… All the people were extremely appreciative and celebrated my successful hippo hunt.” She then had a pop at her critics and remarked:

“Maybe for 2021, I can post photos without an explanation and people will become nicer on social media…. What you think? If you don’t like what I post on my page, please don’t follow me. I won’t miss you.”

Instead, we say: “This year, this wicked woman must be stopped. She glorifies slaughter-for-slaughter’s-sake and that that she considers shoving sex toys into dead animals acceptable sums her up as a monster. Instagram should not allow her to continue to share her vile and utterly offensive posts and now they’ve banned Donald Trump, it’s finally time to rid a social media site used by both adults and children of his philistine supporter Larysa Switlyk too.”

If you haven’t already, please sign our Change.org petition to get blue-ticked bitch Larysa Switlyk banned from Instagram by clicking here. It has attracted over 14,000 signatures to date and it is now time that this social media giant took action.

Switylk posed with the local populous after her “kill” and remarkably claimed they were grateful to her for slaughtering the hippo.

In other posts, Larysa Switlyk posed next to elephants and mourned the passing of a ‘professional’ elephant hunter named Phillip Smythe. She will no doubt be attempting to slaughter one of these majestic creatures next and we join all saying: “Shame on this disgusting monster!”

LEFT – Previously, Donald Trump Jr. pictured posing with an elephant he massacred; RIGHT – Larysa Switlyk socialising Donald Trump’s twisted elephant slaying son, Donald Jr., and his gobby girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Hippo Harridan – Larysa Swyitlk has previously been deservedly slammed for shooting sheep in Norfolk, England and then posing disrespectfully shoving sex toys into their carcasses; she has unsurprisingly also angered many worldwide by killing brown bears in America.

Hippo Harridan – On another ‘jaunt’ in September 2018, wicked wench Switlyk went to Scotland to shoot wild goats. She was reported to prosecutors over alleged gun offences, but astoundingly got off scot-free. At the time, Scottish Brexit secretary Mike Russell remarked of her Instagram posts showing her victims: “They’re horrific,” yet the social media giant has allowed these vile images to remain.

In May 2014, a man died in Embu after eating hippo meat. If Larysa Switlyk met the same fate given her actions, it would serve her right.

Ban the InstaKiller

Wolf slaying ‘InstaKiller’ Larysa Switlyk disgracefully remains on Instagram in spite of campaign to remove her going viral on Change.org

On 11^th September, Matthew Steeples of The Steeple Times started a Change.org petition calling for the removal of bear and wolf massacring monster Larysa Switlyk’s Instagram ‘blue tick’ verified badge and, better still, her account entirely.

In the time since, over 3,630 people have already signed, yet still shover-of-sex-toys-up-the-bums-of-dead sheep ‘InstaKiller’ Switlyk continues to post shamelessly and freely on the site. Why, one has to ask, do Instagram continue to allow this extremely offensive content to pollute their medium?

Amongst updates posted in the time since are offensive images of this evil woman posing whilst on a chamois and wolf ‘hunt’ in Macedonia and another asking: “What is your go to knife?”

Clearly indicative of her and her followers deranged mental statuses – especially at a time when knife crime is so sadly prevalent – in response to one follower revealing: “I could go broke buying knives,” Switlyk distastefully answered: “You and me both!”

We again ask readers to please sign the Change.org petition to ban Larysa Switlyk by clicking here and that you all also please share as widely as possible.

Thank you.

Ban the InstaKiller – In a post yesterday, this distinctly un-ladylike lunatic asked: “Who would be interested in a ladies waterfowl hunt?”

Ban the InstaKiller – Larysa Switlyk has previously shared images online of herself with a sex toy she inserted into the arse of a sheep she’d shot in England and in countless shots with wolfs she’d slayed.

Instagram – Ban Larysa Switlyk
Change.org petition launched to demand the evil sex toy-shover-up-the-bums-of-sheep Larysa Switlyk be banned from Instagram

Given the angry reaction to our story on Friday about Larysa Switlyk from our readers, we have now started a Change.org petition calling on Instagram to at the very least remove this Trump supporting endangered animal slayer’s ‘blue tick’ and a the very best, ban her altogether from the medium.

Posting a petition to the Change.org site about the hunting world’s equivalent of Katie Hopkins, Matthew Steeples remarked:

Animal massacrer Larysa Switylk has a blue tick on Instagram in spite of the fact she has:
1. Posted pictures of herself with the bodies of endangered spieces she has killed such as mountain goats and Coke’s hartebeests. She posts these images to Instagram.
1. Has bragged about shooting a sheep in England and shoved a sex toy up its bum. She posted this toecurlingly sick image to the site.
1. Associated with other killers of amongst animals including alligators, peacocks, turkeys, elephants, lions and leopards such as Donald Trump’s sons and brags about what they kill. She has no respect for her victims and posts pictures of such to Instagram.
Larysa Switlyk’s content is offensive and her smugness about killing endangered creatures is morally reprehensible. It is unacceptable and should not be posted to a medium where it can be seen by hundreds of millions of people.

Larysa Switlyk should a) lose the blue tick she should never have been given by Instagram in the first place and secondly b) she should be banned from Instagram for posting offensive content.

We ask readers to please sign the Change.org petition to ban Larysa Switlyk by clicking here and that you all also please share as widely as possible.

Thank you.

Ban Larysa Switlyk from Instagram – That this vile woman enjoys shooting slow moving creatures like sheep about sums up her complete lack of a moral compass. Why do social media operators allow her to continue to share such imagery?

Monster of the Moment – Larysa Switlyk

Massacring monster Larysa Switlyk boasts about killing an endangered Coke’s hartebeest and a wolf also; she shares such for personal profit and frankly Instagram should be ashamed of itself for enabling her

Fresh from proudly boasting about slaughtering an endangered Coke’s hartebeest in Northern Tanzania in August. – which even she admitted has seen its “numbers crashed” – Larysa Switlyk yesterday posted an image of herself with a wolf she’d mercilessly killed in Macedonia on Instagram.

Barbaric bitch Switlyk’s image shockingly attracted over 2,600 likes in just 11 hours and comments such as “that’s cool!” and “you can make a necklace from his tusks,” but what should be remembered is this: The dumb-ass morons flocking to her page are then directed to a page selling ‘sheep yoga shorts’ and ‘baby one pieces.’ Larysa Switlyk, it can be argued, shares this on social media for one reason and one reason alone and that disgustingly is personal profit.

Previously, this vile excuse for a human and all-round personification of evil has been ironically photographed at a fundraiser for Rescue Dogs Rock NYC with fellow slayer of elephants and leopards Eric Trump and she’s also been captured shoving sex toys up the bums of sheep she’d shot in Norfolk, England. Frankly, her eventual elimination from the planet is the only thing about her that will ever be welcomed.

Please sign a Change.org petition calling on Instagram to ban Larysa Switlyk from their site and/or, at the very least, remove her blue tick. The content she posts is not acceptable for family audiences.

Larysa Switlyk’s post attracted over 2,616 likes on Instagram in just 11 hours from people plainly as mentally retarded as her. If the social media giant had any decency, they would ban this monster from their platform given the offensive content she posts. One has to ask: “Who in their right mind on Instagram’s board, for example, finds it acceptable to shove a sex toy up the arse of a dead sheep?”
