	Circuses.com > Ringling Bros. > Hold Ringling Accountable for Clyde’s Tragic Death
		On July 13, 2004, a healthy, 2-year-old lion named Clyde died on a Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus train while crossing the Mojave Desert, where temperatures soared to 109°F. The train was en route from Phoenix, Arizona, to Fresno, California.
		According to Frank Hagan, a veteran Ringling employee and lion handler who was present when Clyde died, the circus’s trainmaster refused repeated requests to stop the train so that the lions could be checked for signs of distress and provided with water.
		By the time the train finally stopped during mid-afternoon in Parker, Arizona, the lions had been traveling for more than six hours in the desert heat without being watered in closed, poorly ventilated boxcars.
