I thought this was interesting. Alpacas are being used for the first time in the UK to protect animals on farms....
Alpacas and Llamas are a common sight here in Alberta...most farms have one or two.....some farms still have donkeys but most have alpacas...they guard against coyotes etc....and even people! The field opposite our house has an Alpaca protecting the cows....if you walk up to the fence the alpaca is quick to walk over and glare at you!
About five minutes from us there is an Alpaca farm with fields full of these gorgeous but unusual animals. Have you ever felt one? They are so cuddly and soft!
There is a ranch close to here that uses alpacas in their therapy program for people with ADHD and autism etc etc.....
