Owner of condemned alpaca Geronimo brands death sentence ’barbaric’

Geronimo, a six-year-old alpaca from New Zealand now living in south Gloucestershire, was condemned to death by a High Court judge after twice testing positive for bovine tuberculosis. But, despite pleas from more than 80,000 animal lovers, Boris Johnson has refused to save the adored alpaca. His owner Helen Macdonald, 50, has now said she will ’stand in the way of any gunman who comes to destroy Geronimo’. Wildlife TV presenter Chris Packham and actress Joanna Lumley are among those who have spoken out in support of Geronimo. Helen took to Geronimo’s designated Facebook page (inset) to explain her point of view to those who have been following their story for a while now.
