Sqad I realise that , don’t let the BA bug grind you down

[Peter Pedant]

Jesus I dont answer this stuff in the hope of getting Best Answer. Lucky huh? alot of the time it is nothing short of miraculous if more than one on AB knows who Koch is or was.....---

[Atheist]

Millions of living entities are killed every day in order to give humans food. Why is there such a fuss about one animal?

[Sqad]

Or Ghon or Assman.

[Redhelen72]

He has already had 2 positive TB tests, he has already lived longer than cattle in the same position.

[gness]

I signed earlier, Bobbi for two reasons. I trust Helen more than those wanting him to be killed and if they are going to let the unvaccinated walk amongst us then I'm happy for Geronimo to live... :-)

[Redhelen72]

Treating TB in livestock is not recommended because TB is highly infectious and spreads to other livestock

[Sqad]

Thank you Helen my love.

[Bobbisox1]

Gness , it’s more I’m blinkered for the love of these beautiful creatures

She needs to provide proof that Geromino is in the clear. If this costs lots of dosh she can set up a "go fund me" page.

If G is proven not to have TB he gets to live.

[Bobbisox1]

Oh I really hope so Wolfie :0)

Atheist, because they always have and always will be- even for vegans. But, unnecessary pointless is just that. If, he is healthy and fine- then they really need to know that first.

[Atheist]

Pixie, I don't understand. Most animals who are driven to the abattoir are healthy. i'm not sure what you are saying.

[Togo]

I always thought that Geronimo was an Apache not an Alpaca ... no one made a fuss when he died though.

[Bobbisox1]

Are Alpacas used for meat?I naively thought they are used for their wool only ?
Still, what do I know Eh :0(

[pixie374]

Atheist, I'm saying that animals killed for meat- are also only alive in the first place, for that reason.
To get vegan food, millions of insects die, but don't count- because they are small and not attractive? Just from speaking to vegans on here- I've seen their "morals" are the same, but in different ways. No problem at all... until they start suggesting they are "kinder"...
I was a vegetarian, on principle, myself, for around 12/13 years... until I realised, it didn't make sense...and I was actually just as hypocritical as everyone else.

[Redhelen72]

Yes, alpaca forms part of the food chain in South America. It is a very lean meat with a low cholesterol and low fat content. There are some members in the UK who offer alpaca meat and meat products for sale.
