first question you need to ask, where is this horse going to end up if I give you money to bail it from the extortionist online telling you if you do not the horse can and will die, after a long hot ride to Mexico. Where is it ending up? Does the person adopting it have the means to pay for it? Does it have shelter? Does it have food? Has someone done a home check? Will you EVER hear about this horse again after today, or will someone just give you no answer or tell you they answered your questions already - even publicly - when you both know they have not and you still are not given a name and farm this horse will be provided for at.
When rescuing thoroughbreds, it seems fair to say the horse is #SAFE when it is bailed from the kill pen and given a horse rescue that can provide for it, or finds a loving home with a person who steps up and takes pictures and updates you in the future the status of the horse, where you can do a home check. More then likely if someone can afford $350 for a horses needs every month (hay, ferrier, vet bills, lodging etc - then they can more likely then not afford the $1,000 bail and do not need you to donate). A rescue is another story, but so many rescues bail the horses and you never hear about the horse again, I am still trying to locate horses I bailed for "Fina Espinoza" and "Dusty Savenelli" and four others, among countless others I cannot find answers for.
Now when rescuing a wild Mustang, when is that horse safe? And WHAT is it SAFE from? If a child were kidnapped from her family would we say she is safe when she is saved from the kidnappers but off in an orphanage somewhere with no attempts to locate her family and with every intention of "breaking her" spirit and domesticating her to do your bidding? Would the family think that is #Safe? Is a wild mustang really ever #Safe again after BLM rounds them up and exposes them to strangles a deadly disease in the kill pen, will they ever go back to their family and their home? Sure they may be temporarily safe from the heartless psychos that slaughter them and ship them to slaughter, but are they really #SAFE? Will they ever see their Mom or Dad or herd again?
Did you know when a wild horse is hurt or injured, for example a broken ankle, that the ENTIRE HERD rallies around that horse to keep it safe and protected for the rest of it's life. They help it, they help their own. Contrast that with the care the humans provide them, in horse racing, do you see all the owners and trainers rally around the horse for the next 30 years protecting it in keeping it safe or do you see the curtains drawn and the ambulance pull up? Who is really HUMANE? Certainly not us humans...
