Thanks for the valuable info. I have heard of donkeys that had been used guarding sheep and goats being turned loose in TX because drought conditions had made ranchers reduce their flocks, so they didn't need the donkeys anymore. There are many former guard donkeys looking for homes there, apparently.
I have had my goats around mules, horses, and donkeys a few times. These were just camping trips and day trips, and the equines were kept tied up or closely controlled, so it was never a real problem. Once they got over their initial spookiness about the goats, everything went ok. But I never completely trusted them.
