Right now, a CCTV camera inside the pen of an English farm is broadcasting a live feed, its owner determined to capture the fate of the UK's most controversial farm animal — Geronimo the alpaca.

Time is running out for Geronimo, who has twice tested positive for the potentially devastating bovine tuberculosis, and who authorities have ordered must be euthanased.

The UK's Department of Environment, Food and Regional Affairs , which is responsible for the order to have Geronimo destroyed, describes bovine TB as "the most difficult and intractable animal health challenge that we currently face". Ms MacDonald and her supporters have called for a different kind of test to be administered before any decision is made.

Celebrities, and even Mr Johnson's own father, have publicly voiced support for Geronimo, but the UK government has held firm that he must be euthanased.Protesters marched on DEFRA offices and the UK's tabloids splashed the animal's face across front pages.
