Clicking that link led to another link that led to another link (and if I kept following the links, I probably would have found the Tri-Force).  Pretty cool.  If I had enough time and know-how, I'd create a series of links that leads to something awesome!  But since I have neither the time, the know-how, OR something awesome as a reward, I'll just go now.

OMG, this actually happened

Bos taurus primigenius, descendant of the Toro Bravo, became extinct during the 17th century in central Europe. Thanks to these bullfights it has been able to survive for 300 years compared to its European brothers. It's a business, art and culture. You guys might not understand it, but without it the bull would be long gone.

Yes, and why did it become extinct in the first place?

And don't bring that condescending attitude that "bullfighting" has saved the species. What has Spain done to save the Iberian Linx? Not a single damn thing. That species exists because of the natural reserves here in Portugal, like Serra da Arrabida or Gerez. It's hypocrite to say that you're saving a species, because you don't do squat for any other of the Iberian Peninsula extinction-prone species.

If you really want to save and proliferate the bullfighting bull species, then there's far more better things to do than to raise them for the sole purpose of killing them for entertainment and sports in the future.

The main reserves of the iberian lynx isn't in Portugal, is in the South of Spain, in Doñana, and it's the only place where there is breeding. Check your facts before criticizing. And what Tomatito said is true, those bulls are really costly to breed, so it's not profitable without bullfights. The species would disappear.

I love how you get your references from Wikipedia, which only references a currently non-functioning organization in Portugal, while not giving credit to over 6 different organizations that have been working since 2006 to create the largest breeding space to the Iberian Lynx, which won the 2010 award for one of the best ideias for nature salvation. 

And don't confuse reserves with breeding grounds. Breeding grounds are very minute, while the species itself lives dilluted and controlled in various parts of the iberian peninsula. 

And why should saving a species have to be profitable? 

Nobody died? I'm disappointed.

She was asking for it.

LOL. And I believe it was a "him", not a "she" (don't even know if women can be matadors).

Hahahahaha!!!!!
