Californian Hero Uses Horse Trailer to Save Over 90 Animals in the Path of L.A.'s terryfying Fires - Jacob Deutsch says he will keep rescuing at-risk animals for "as long as it takes" for the current L.A. fires to stop.
Jacob Deutsch, a devoted animal lover and horse enthusiast, immediately considered the welfare of animals when he learned about the wildfires raging through Los Angeles County,
On Tuesday, January 7, while observing the distressing fire updates from his residence in Beverly Hills, Deutsch recognized the urgent need for assistance for the horses and livestock in Los Angeles, and he promptly took action to provide support.
Upon reaching his initial destination, Deutsch discovered that numerous livestock owners were in dire need of assistance and were uncertain about how to safeguard their animals as the fires posed a threat to their residences.
Deutsch contributed significantly to alleviating the despair of the devastating scenes by loading horses, donkeys, and various livestock into his trailer and transporting them to his property. He and his wife, Ashley, have ample space to accommodate numerous animals, and their efforts have been ongoing.
Since Tuesday, Deutsch has successfully rescued more than 90 animals, often approaching within 100 feet of the flames to carry out these rescues. While many of the animals are currently residing at his property, he has also delivered some to safe havens and rescue organizations prepared to care for them.
