TRUTH !!
Topsy was a circus elephant at Coney Island's Luna Park. After killing three
people—at least one of whom was mistreating her at the time—in as many
years, she was deemed a threat and scheduled to be put down. After hanging
was ruled out as too cruel, Thomas Edison suggested electrocution in an
attempt to further his campaign to portray alternating current electricity
as dangerous. Electrocuted with 6,600 volts, Topsy died in seconds.
The year was 1909.
