Alpaca-lypse Later: Geronimo Granted Last-Minute Reprieve for Court Appeal
12:56 GMT 17.08.2021 (Updated: 15:15 GMT 28.05.2023) Geronimo's supporters have vowed to physically block any attempt by authorities to take the alpaca, named after the famous Chiricahua Apache war leader who evaded capture by the US Army for years, away for execution.
Geronimo the alpaca has won a last-minute stay of execution from a British court pending a review of the order to have him put down for a tuberculosis infection.
The long-feared alpaca-lypse was postponed on Monday after New Zealand-born Geronimo's Gloucestershire-based owner Helen MacDonald won the right to a judicial review at the High Court in London.
"Defra have agreed to extend their undertaking until 17:00 on Tuesday," said her Solicitor Jan Mugerwa. "A judge has been assigned to consider urgently the question of the injunction and disclosure."
Aptly-named government ministry
Defra — the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs — issued Geronimo's death warrant following two consecutive tests for the infectious and fatal lung disease TB. But MacDonald claims both those tests showed false positives.
