Geronimo The Alpaca’s Owner Explains Why She Is Fighting His Death Sentence | This Morning

This Morning published this video item, entitled “Geronimo The Alpaca’s Owner Explains Why She Is Fighting His Death Sentence | This Morning” – below is their description.

It’s the story which has dominated the front pages, embroiled public figures, and even reached Number 10. After testing positive twice for bovine tuberculosis, 8-year-old alpaca Geronimo has been sentenced to death – but his owner Helen MacDonald has said she’ll “take a bullet” before she lets that happen. As she lies in wait for the arrival of the firing squad, Helen joins us this morning alongside Geronimo to tell us why she’s now begging Carrie Johnson to convince her husband to save her best-friend. Helen will also be telling us why she believes the test results aren’t accurate, and sharing her plans to film Geronimo’s execution and put it online should she fail to save him.
