Animal Rights groups would not set a horse loose. The groups are safety minded, not a threat to animals.

Many think animals should be free from human control and don't think through the logical consequences thereof. Horses running into traffic, etc.

One certainly tried to set loose a blind person's seeing eye dog; unclipped its leash while it was sitting next its person and told it to go be free. Dog looked at the perp with suspicion and stayed where it was. "Wassamatta, lady, can't you see I've got a job to do?" Had this gem from a legally blind but partially sighted board buddy who has a guide dog herself. Leaving a blind human helpless is no problem for them.

The animal rights nuts are always setting aimals free, happens all the time at the primate research lab here. They also bomb humans.

How do you think they get all their undercover footage. Someone comes in and poses as a worker gets footage and exploits it.
I personally believe there is already undercover footage being taken by PETA and HSUS at tracks. Just google all their undercover investigations.

If there are under cover investigations that is a good thing, imo. Setting horses loose is not acceptable regardless of who is responsible.
