In Reference to: Thomas A. Edison

I just wanted to let you know that even though your site features a quote from Thomas Edison, he was NOT kind to animals. In an effort to prove that alternating electric current was more dangerous than his direct current method, he held MANY public electrocutions of animals - from cats and dogs to one poor circus elephant. Whatever he said about caring about all living creatures, his behavior lacked compassion and was unnecessarily brutal to animals that deserved better. You can research the validity of this history if you want.
