Ripley's First Monday Trade Day — Local services in Ripley

Visited from Nashville TN. I did not expect the horrors that I witnessed. This place was hell on earth for animals. I cannot believe this is legal in American.

He drives a new,...

Worse flea market I've ever visited. And should be ashamed of the poor animals out in the heat!! PETA needs to make a visit. Matter of fact I just sent them a complaint. Surely they will investigate. Reply to your comment. I guarantee there is more than 18 Hispanic vendors there. Guarantee. And you all have been in so much trouble for the humane treatment of animals its unreal. Your reply was a waste of time!!! I've been here I've seen it with my own eyes. All...
