The owner of tragic alpaca Geronimo 'executed' by Defra is demanding justice from Keir Starmer.
Helen Macdonald, 53, has marked the third anniversary of the animal's high-profile death by making a direct plea to the Prime Minister.
She wants the new Labour government to reveal 'the truth' behind what happened to the beloved animal.
She said she still doesn’t know how he was killed and worries he was strangled due to the tightness of the rope around his neck.
The eight-year-old alpaca was killed on August 31 2021 after testing twice testing positive for Bovine TB after campaigners failed in a four year battle to save him.

00:00I've got a gift.
00:02I can't see that.
00:05Are you coming?
00:07I've got a gift.
00:09I think I'll leave it in here.
00:13Yeah, yeah.
00:24Okay.
00:25Do you want to make a cup?
00:27Yeah.
00:35What are they doing? Half an hour.
00:38Look at him stroking his neck like you're cutting him.
00:42Stroking his neck like you bloody care at all.
00:45Have you?
00:46We have, we have.
00:48You won't have to pay.
00:52Right, okay.
00:53Yeah.
00:56Right.
00:57You're not taking him off this farm.
01:00You're not taking him live off this farm.
01:03It was a word for a reactor.
01:05I'll take it.
01:09You're not taking him live off this farm.
01:11Excuse me.
01:12Excuse me.
01:13Please move back.
01:14No.
01:15Absolutely not.
01:18Under whose order are you taking a live animal?
01:21Look, you're frightening me.
01:22He's a TV risk, remember?
01:24The police should be doing something about this animal abuse,
01:27whether you're known, whether it's legal or not.
01:33You're frightening him.
01:35Don't you think you're costing us?
01:38Pull yourself a bit.
01:42Come on, little beggar.
01:45Go on, nut up.
01:46Police officers, just stand back.
01:48Just stand back up.
01:50You are frightening this poor animal.
01:54Okay, just secure the gate behind.
01:57Just hold it here.
02:01Sorry, we have a right to egress our own property.
02:05Come on.
02:06Sorry, we can go.
02:07You can't stop us.
02:09You can't.
02:10No, no, you can't.
02:11We're about to breach of the peace.
02:12You're going to be able to stay here.
02:13No, no, come on.
02:14Don't pull that on one.
02:15It's not a breach of the peace.
02:17No one here is offering you violence.
02:19We are simply trying to film each other.
02:21Are you kidding me?
02:22That's not a breach of the peace.
02:24I want the vehicle number.
02:25I want that vehicle number.
02:26And I want to know who these people are.
02:28Just stay back.
02:29The press.
02:30Come on, show us all the lady.
02:32She's not offering you any violence.
02:34I've explained that neither of you are able to leave at this moment in time
02:37in order to prevent the breach of the peace.
02:39What are they going to do with that animal?
02:40No, you're misinterpreting breach of the peace
02:42because we are not breaching the peace.
02:44We are simply trying...
02:45I suspect you may cause a breach of the peace.
02:47Well, I suspect you are causing the breach of the peace.
02:50Okay, we'll have to discuss that.
02:52I agree to disagree.
02:53Well, no, I'm not going to agree to disagree.
02:55You're either causing the breach of the peace or you're not.
02:58I need the vet's name, please.
02:59They have taken my animal live.
03:01That is not what they do.
03:03This is a change in protocol again.
03:05What is happening to my animal?
03:07And who is responsible?
03:09He's supposed to be signing for an autopsy, right?
03:12So our vet will be there.
03:14Because it's been lies all along.
03:17No, it hasn't.
03:18Nothing has been explained.
03:19I don't know that.
03:20You don't know anything.
03:21Have you been fully briefed?
03:22You don't know anything.
03:23No.
03:24You're doing what you always do,
03:25which is try and get through by bullshitting.
03:28There's one right behind you.
03:29There's one right behind you.
03:30Right.
03:31Why are they taking a live animal?
03:33Hey, excuse the officer.
03:36That's illegal.
03:37That's an obstruction of economic rights like that.
03:40That's illegal.
03:41Illegal.
03:42Illegal.
03:43Get it.
03:44It's illegal.
03:49The only person not having their plate
03:51is Her Majesty the Queen.
03:53And you ain't that.
03:55Sorry, boss.
03:56Sorry, boss.
03:58Suckers.
04:11Do it now before they leave.
04:13Do it now before they leave.
04:14Do it now before they leave.
04:16Right.
04:18I don't know what details are on there,
04:19but that is the warrant.
04:21Don't touch it.
04:23Just drop it on the floor.
04:25Bloody drop it.
04:26It's too late.
04:27Too late.
04:28This might be useful information.
04:32I think this is what Helen's already got, I think.
04:35Yeah, okay.
04:36But I asked for the name of the vet.
04:39They won't give it.
04:45I'm going to do this.
04:51Is this what you guys joined up for, really?
04:59I hope you do feel a certain amount of shame
05:01when you get back.
05:10I'll get it.
05:12I'll get it.
05:15I'll get it.
