Well all they tell me when they take cows is if they react to the skin test then there’s something going on, an they’ve defo been exposed to TB!! So she’ll have to suck it up an take it on the chin like the rest of us mere mortals have to!! No body ever come back to me an apologised for killing young cows with calves left behind at home!! Until these bunny hugging lunatics get real an realise that you won’t eradicate TB without culling some cute harmless wildlife then they’ll be more pet llamas slaughtered!!
Post-mortem shows 'not a shred of evidence' Geronimo had tuberculosis

It's depressing reading some of the naive/stupid comments and the end of this press realise.

From the Wail article, Geronimo's not in practice vet has latched onto something about no lesions in the lungs. That doesn't mean that there is no TB.
We will have to wait until the full report is issued.

Bit rich of the owner to complain about the animal being taken away with a rope round the neck rather than a halter.
If she had any thought for the animal, she would have let it be put down at home.

Yes.. she should have led the poor animal onto the trailer herself for its last journey
Or allowed it to be put down "on farm", which is always the least stress method.

Head in a bucket of favourite food, pop and all is done no stress, no fear. Any of my sheep that I don't want to see dragged round a ring get that 'last bite' and they die with a mouth full.
All that woman wanted was for the world to see her animal dragged away by nasty men to deflect the public from finding out she was a selfish mad cow herself.

All gone very quiet lately . Has it gone away , or is the storm still brewing about whether it had or it hadn't ?

I think it's a good job that every farmer with a suspected problem doesn't take that same route , or the whole system would collapse - spectacularly I think ! That Geronimo must have cost a hatful of money so far , and I would take a gamble that it will rear it's head again .

It looks like I might have been right . I see that "Sky News" has said that Geronimo was needlessly killed by the authorities "in a most brutal manner " . According to them it didn't have t.b. I'd bet they stir it all up and re-hash it all over again . Still , look on the bright side , it might push Boris' party off the front pages for a time .
