I an a soon-to-be first time horse owner and I visit the site www.agdirect.com quite often. I found that Mountain Dew Farms has at least 2 active listings of horses on that site. According to the outcome of the trial, they are not permitted to own any animals for 3 years. Someone is going to get ripped off again.

Thanks for taking action against Mountain Dew Farms and thanks for making the information public. Abuse like this should never be allowed to happen.

ONEIDA (WATE) -- The Scott County district attorney general's office is pursuing animal cruelty charges against the operators of a farm in Oneida.
Mountain Dew Farms is located on Stanley Creek Road in Oneida, about 65 miles northwest of Knoxville.
After getting a complaint from someone trying to buy horses from Mountain Dew Farms, a group called Horse Haven of Tennessee went to the site to investigate.
The group took some pictures showing horse carcasses on the property. In one picture, there are only skeletal remains. Another picture shows a skeleton with other bones lying on the property.
Horse Haven of Tennessee says their members found five dead horses and two dead goats.
"It was absolutely, not only was it terribly disgusting to smell and look at, to know that it was in 20 feet on the front door of that house, that whoever pulled in there and got out and went to that house, there it laid," says Nina Margetson, Horse Haven.
The owners of the Mountain Dew Farms are Val and Donnie Moody. The DA's office says it plans to file animal abuse charges against them.
