Veteran Circus Elephant Lois Dies After Long Illness
Lois, a veteran elephant once rescued from the Hartford circus fire era, died last Saturday at the Sandler Ranch Venice Byway. Despite antibiotics stimulants and a heroic mineral oil dose, the 42 year old pachyderm could not be saved after illness and near freezing temperatures. Remo Cristiani and the Sandlers led an all night vigil with fires and a two gallon mineral oil rescue from Publix to ease her decline. Lois previously performed with the Ringling and Cristiani Ciruses and last appeared at the Landmark Hotel in Sarasota during Christmas.
