Poor Wee Geromino
Geronimo is to be put to sleep tomorrow.
I agree that, if he has TB he should be destroyed, but what if his owner is right and the test is flawed.
It's not really just about one animal amongst thousands that are slaughtered daily it's about the heavy-handedness and inflexible government rules (not just the Tories or the UK govt).

I have never accepted that Geronimo was purely a pet, he was brought here from New Zealand to a breeder of alpacas. The poor animal has not had the life he should have enjoyed.

Desk - forget the plight of Africans or whoever trying to swim the Channel or the Ghurkas and their pension issue, this is about a furry animal on four legs that could easily be seen on a Hamley's toy shelf as he looks cuddly...and what doe we Brits do but go all gooey and 'aaaah' - all sense and rationality disappearing out of our minds at times.
After all, a llama-lovers comment to a fellow llama-lover is ' You're my best pal-paca....' I'll get me wool coat...

I really can't see why a 'crowd-funded'; TB test should not be done. His owner has a fair point. At least he has no idea. As someone has said, it is not important compared to the fear felt by some in Afghanistan - or is it? If we ignore tiny injustices (or possible injustices) should we not ignore others? Of course, we have no control over Afghanistan, but I'm a bit bothered by the principle. One can do what one can do.
