Geronimo the alpaca is on death row in Britain. Even Boris Johnson’s dad wants him saved | BevanShields
The verdict is in and Geronimo must die, preferably by lethal injection. But not since the United Kingdom’s last state-sanctioned execution in 1964 has a death sentence captured so much public attention.
Even Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s own father, Stanley Johnson, has pleaded with the government to give Geronimo a fighting chance by allowing a third test. Middlemiss argues the chances of a false positive from the Enferplex test used on Geronimo is less than one per cent but Macdonald and her supporters disagree and want a third and different test.
Stanley Johnson hit the airwaves to urge his son’s cabinet to reconsider, arguing Geronimo appeared “healthy as all get-out” years after his diagnosis and had not infected other alpacas.
