Support:

Bulls are a very powerful creature. By nature they represent authority and aggression. As a human culture, we respect the power of the bull greatly. I assume this bull is in New York City on Wall Street. This presents the bull as a symbol of hope. Bull's never give up, whether in a rodeo, or facing a Matador, bull's fight to the end. This symbolizes Wall Street and the economy of America. Powerful, competitive, and at times requiring a fight to stay afloat. But above all, always ready to strike.
