Something bad, then VERY interesting happened where my grandson was working [View all]

My grandson was working at a place in Sevier County, TN, called Jayell Ranch, because he likes being outdoors. It offers horseback riding, ziplining, and other adventurous things. When I was visiting a couple of weeks ago, he told us that the horses there were mostly in pretty bad shape--underfed, some with sores, left outside in all weathers, etc.--and that Animal Control had been called on several occasions. He didn't work with them, though' he worked on the ziplines, being a big, strong kid. Apparently several people quit, but not before posting pictures of the hoses on Facebook. Well, on Friday, the Tennessee Department of Agriculture showed up. Apparently the owner must have been tipped off beforehand (Sevier County is a bit, shall we say, corrupt) and had bought a bunch of new horses to add to the herd, but he didn't get rid of the old ones either. On Saturday, the owner tried to get the employees to sign NDAs...and they all, my grandson among them, WALKED OUT. Quit on the spot.

Needless to say, I am very proud of my grandson. Even though he didn't work with the horses, he knows better than to sign an NDA.
