Re: [AlpacaTalk] Upright Alpacas
My husband is facebook friends with the vet tech who aided these poor folks in VA. In fact, her profile photo is of her and two of the mauled crias ( before the attack ). People, it can happen to anyone, make sure your fences are designed to keep predators OUT, and your alpacas in. We use a six strand electric fence which our animals do not go near. We also have an LDG as back up... Nothing gets out, or in.

Does anyone on this list know Abby and Wes Gauvin of Upright Alpacas? I have been keeping up with this tragic story and wondered if anyone close to them knew of a way the alpaca community could help. I feel terrible for them.
