No, I couldn't. Not only do I not have the funds, but I have no place to put the creature. One of the hardest things I have ever learned as an adventure traveler is that I cannot save all the beloved animals whose lives I touch, and who suffer at the hands of such cretins. I have no way to track down the fate of this animal. This kind of treatment is so common, so widespread, from Maasai beating the legs of camels with hard sticks to dogs beaten by the roadside. All I can do is heal where I can, touch where I am allowed, and pray for karma for the offenders. I hear your passion. Believe me I have it twelve times over inside me. The helplessness that comes of watching this kind of thing is beyond maddening.
