Alpaca, donkey and bear enthusiasts battle over 1.9m will of llama-loving pensioner
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The 1.9m will of a llama-loving pensioner has caused a High Court fight which saw rival alpaca, donkey and bear enthusiasts scrapping over her millions. Conservationist Candia Midworth was a passionate animal-lover, who kept and bred llamas at her Surrey farm, was a director of the British Llama and Alpaca Association and editor of its magazine, the Camelid Chronicle. Widowed decades ago, when she herself died in 2022 she left a will dividing her 1.9m fortune equally between six charities"
The Independent emphasizes on-the-ground reporting across issues from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech while rejecting paywalls and relying on donations to fund journalism. The outlet investigates political financing and produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights, stressing the need to parse facts from messaging and to present both sides. A separate legal matter concerned Candia Midworth, a Surrey conservationist who left a 1.9m estate divided among six animal charities. British Camelids Ltd challenged some gifts where named causes no longer existed, prompting a High Court decision to redistribute funds to multiple animal causes including donkeys, mules, bears and llamas.
