Geronimo the alpaca has sadly been put down by government vets after being taken from its farm in Gloucestershire, just days before a destruction warrant which ordered its death was due to expire on 4 September.
The alpaca had tested positive twice for bovine tuberculosis.
The government released a statement which said: “TB-positive alpaca known as ‘Geronimo’ has been euthanised to prevent the spread of disease.”
