Geronimo tested positive for bovine tuberculosis
Downing Street has refused to U-turn on the British Government's decision to euthanise an alpaca, as a protest takes place in Westminster.
Geronimo, the alpaca, has twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis.
His owner, Helen Macdonald, claims the test was flawed.
Ms. Macdonald is losing her final appeal for him to be saved.
More than 100,000 people have signed a petition to save Geronimo.
A number of placards are being held up saying “save Geronimo” and “justice for Geronimo”.https://t.co/uKjXZMps0N pic.twitter.com/lnXycNFWKq
