These creatures were becoming more populated everywhere, and especially Spain. The famous “Centaur Hunting Act” considered one of the most brutal acts ever to be declared by Queen Isabella stated that until the wide population of centaurs was tamed down, there would be only a select few that would be spared in special reserves. Eventually, a young squib, Christopher Columbus, came on to this corruption and did his best to stop it. At least 10,000 centaurs had been saved in the first 5 years after that. Isabella never became aware of this illegal protection of centaurs going on, and even was fooled again whenever Columbus requested a fleet to the Americas, a journey in 1492. Columbus already had known about America beforehand and felt it was the best place to even out the population, without killing the centaurs. A wizard by the name of Ricardo Verde helped charm all the passengers of the ship to be completely blind that another charm had been put on the bottom of the ship to hold more than 10,00 centaurs. This is considered one of the world’s biggest smuggling of creatures ever known to man. The result of Columbus and Verde’s trip was the fruits of new civilizations in Americas along with an evened out population of centaurs. Following this you shall read the events following that act.Figure SEQ Figure ARABIC 2 Shows Columbus' witty quot;
