Horses have this thing that makes them devilishly hard to save when they're injured (hence so many horses euthanized). Their version of shock causes their muscles to basically de-laminate. It's the no-choice version of a herd animal taking one for the team.
While social, we are not a herd animal, and have evolved to make choices about our sacrifices. Sometimes we choose well. We haven't yet evolved to foresee the consequences of our actions/inaction, still waiting for that upgrade.
