Correction: Barnum's elephant Jumbo died in Ontario, Canada, not California. Thank you to those who brought this to our attention!

PT Barnum's whale captures made Seaworld look like a luxury spa. The beluga's he kept at the museum began BOILING ALIVE IN THEIR TANKS. Someone broke the wall of their tank to try and show some 'mercy' but they beached and ended up falling as the museum collapsed. Horrific stuff.

Small correction jumbo died in saint Thomas, Ontario, Canada not California. There’s a huge statue of him when you entered saint Thomas it’s very interesting

I could have guessed that a man who tortured animals had a dark side.

And this is why I can't, "get over it, it's just a movie," with 'The Greatest Showman.' Spectacular performances, especially by Jackman, but it's just more revisionist history that, despite it being "just a film," people will latch onto and believe as truth because it's, "based on a true story." No, it's based on the lies Barnum wanted the public to believe while being an absolutely appalling person. There are plenty of people who can love the movie as a film, and detest the man, but that's not going to be the majority of people. On top of that, it's very existence in the way it portrayed Barnum says that, the people who made the film are either wilfully ignorant of the truth of Barnum, or they cosigned the racist shiesty things he stood for. Either way, not a good look imo.

not saying that those awful things didn't happen to those poor animals, but don't use PETA as an authority o. anything. they're as bad for animals as barnum was.

Several of my ancestors were carnies for PT Barnum as trapeze artists and tight rope walkers

What if we get L.M. Miranda to write a hit musical about him being an absolute s$%^ monster. Jackman could still star in it.

I have been told by my grandma that P.T. Barnum is my 16th cousin and looking at pictures of my great grandma I can see the family resemblance.

Dark side? I knew he was a crook and not a likeable person before and when the movie came out it was a laugh cause it was so loosely based

Just love how after demolishing the credibility of ghouls, now BuzzFeed unsolved is doing the same to the once-beloved figures

You forgot to mention that Jumbo was the parent of "Jennie". An elephant owned by Houdini. Which was featured in Houdini's grand illusion of Vanishing an Elephant.

So, from what I'm hearing so far, he's the real life Grunkle Stan? Edit - Grunkle Stan with a whole lot of racism, among other morally upsetting things. Stan may not have been a role model, but he's a much better one than Barnum
