We all know that Thomas Edison went through many failed experiments before he reached the invention of electricity, and he also conducted many experiments to develop his inventions, but what many do not know is that his experiments included killing an elephant working in the circus with an electric shock in the year 1903, and this incident was filmed And documented.
Topsy elephants were being mistreated in the circus, which they could no longer bear, so she killed 3 men in a fit of anger, and then she was sentenced to death.
And since Addison was famous for running experiments involving electrocuting animals, circus operators decided that the most humane way to get rid of Topsy was to electrocute her, not hang her!
