Geronimo the alpaca culled after testing positive for bovine tuberculosis

A destruction warrant had been ordered for the animal

Geronimo the alpaca at Shepherds Close Farm in Wooton Under Edge, Gloucestershire. Geronimo has twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis and, as a result, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) has ordered its destruction. Picture date: Friday August 27, 2021.

Geronimo the alpaca has been culled by UK Government vets carrying out a court-ordered destruction warrant.

The animal was rounded up on Tuesday morning as other alpacas watched on from a nearby field, before being loaded into a trailer, which then left the farm near Wickwar, South Gloucestershire.
