What do vegetarians think of Thomas Edison? ?!
Answers:
Megalomaniac!.
In 1903, Edison staged the highly publicized electrocution of an elephant in order to demonstrate the dangers of alternating current, and discredit rivals George Westinghouse and Nicola Tesla!.
Edison started a series of animal electrocutions using AC (a killing process he referred to snidely as getting "Westinghoused")!. Stray dogs and cats, cattle and horses were all killed before Topsy!. The Luna Park Zoo at Coney Island had an elephant who had killed three abusive handlers, and they decided she needed to be terminated!. Edison was thrilled!.
Topsy's execution was filmed by Edison and released later that year as "Electrocuting an Elephant!."
(And yes, it's on YouTube: http://www!.youtube!.com/watch!?v=RkBU3aYsf!.!.!. )
He also had New York's first electric chair built!.
Not a nice guy, although I AM fond of lightbulbs!.!.!.!.

"Nonviolence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution!. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages!."
