Geronimo the Alpaca 06/02/2013 – 31/08/2021
Geronimo was born here at Nevalea Alpacas in Taumarunui, New Zealand and was a Champion Alpaca, he was purchased in 2017 and left to live in the United Kingdom with Helen MacDonald. He became the most famous alpaca while living over there and made it on the TV news and in Newspapers around the world, upon leaving New Zealand Geronimo tested Negative for TB in routine export tests, but then when he arrived in the UK, he was mistakenly tested again only 22 days later, producing a false positive test, this resulted in a four year legal battle for his new owner trying to get one more test with the correct timeframes in-between testing, the fight ended with the UK Government enthusing Geronimo, only to find the post mortem showed no signs of TB.
We have designed this Scarf in remembrance of Geronimo.
