Bullfighting breeders turn to cloning (AP)

The bull 'Alcalde' grazes in a field next to the town of Guadalix de la Sierra, Spain, on March 1, 2008. Alcalde will be cloned to preserve his good genes for breeding fighting bulls. (AP Photo/Victor R. Caivano)AP - Alcalde, a hulking black bull, is quite the stud. He sires up to 40 calves a year, most of them top-grade fighters, even though in human terms he would be almost 80 years old and is nearing the end of his life. Victoriano del Rio, a fifth-generation breeder of fighting bulls, cringes at the thought of losing an animal with such good genes.
