Geronimo was euthanised by the government in August 2021 after twice testing positive for contagious bovine tuberculosis.

Alpaca breeder Helen Macdonald said she urgently wanted to meet the Labour government to discuss the fate of the animal.

She has always maintained the testing of her eight-year-old alpaca, who lived on her Gloucestershire farm, produced flawed “false positives” A government postmortem was unable to find evidence that the animal had the disease.
