31st August 2021 is a day I will never forget. The day Geronimo the Alpaca was murdered by government officials from DEFRA after a much disputed claim that he has bovine tuberculosis.
The scenes of this poor bewildered animal being led away by a group of Brutish clowns will haunt me for the rest of my days on this planet. So thank you DEFRA for making my life that much sadder. What a fine example you are for young children NOT.
They saw a government organisation take away a family pet that was always kept separate from other animals with no compassion whatsoever. What I saw that day was reminiscent of a satanic ritual but more demonic.
British government veterinarians on Tuesday killed Geronimo, whose sentence of death for carrying bovine tuberculosis made international headlines and pitted animal activists against the state.
The scene was witnessed by animal activists and journalists who had camped out at the farm in Wickwar, 175 kilometers (110 miles) west of London, pledging to stop the killing.
The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs confirmed the animal had been euthanised,
The controversial camelid was sentenced to death after twice testing positive for bovine .
His owner, Helen Macdonald, argued the tests had produced false positives and fought for a third test.
Macdonald, a veterinary nurse, said the alpaca was negative when he was bought in from New Zealand and she had spent thousands of pounds in a failed court battle to save the animal.
Several veterinarians backed her case, but earlier this month a High Court judge rejected Macdonald's request for a temporary injunction to stop the killing and reopen the case
Bovine TB can devastate cattle herds and hurt farm revenues.
The Unite Kingdom has been culling animals, chiefly badgers, to stop its spread for a decade, but the practice remains contentious.
Initial results have now revealed that Geronimo the alpaca did NOT have Bovine TB. People pleaded for one final test but the Government bloody went on ahead and dragged Geronimo to his death. Despite this Defra contemptibly dissemble & try to say we won't know for 5 months; by then aided by a corrupt dishonest government they will find a way to either cover up or fix it to show that Geronimo did have TB, even though he didn't.
Utterly disgraceful. I support any attempt in those who choose to take legal action against the Government and the calls for Secretary of State George Eustice to immediately resign. Supporters of Geronimo's owner Helen Macdonald are already disgusted and rightfully angry about how the animal was taken away from his farm and the suggestion that he did not have TB is only adding to their anger. Hoping 5 months from now that the public will forget by then, shows how deluded they are, there is not a chance in fucking hell that the people will let this drop.
Surrounded by supporters outside Defra's Westminster offices Helen Macdonald said "Geronimo was a blessing in my life. He touched the world. He was loved and precious to very many people and he lives on.
" I miss him. But I will do him the honour of fighting for him and making sure his legacy lives on for all animals. "
There are no boundaries with DEFRA. they have no limits. They will run roughshod over your land and take your animals without a care. They cannot and must not be allowed to continue. With their extraordinary degree of arrogance they think they are beyond accountability. Heads must roll and prosecutions must be put into place. A bit of a departure from the manic street preachers original but if you tolerate this your pet will be next.
