    I work in a chemical plant, and as much as we make fun of OSHA for having over the top regulations, remember that every guideline has been written after the fact, usually in blood.

      I am also glad they made these laws, I'm actually studying a course about U.S. history after the Civil War, and let me tell you it wasn't pretty during the Industrial Revolution. For example, elevators didn't have doors, and one time a child who was working there (another issue altogether) snuck on, and was laying on the floor to avoid being caught and her head got caught between a ledge or something as it was moving up, and you can imagine what happened. She was also blamed for her own death afterwards so the industry could avoid giving compensation (typical). Not to mention all the accidents with the machinery which cause limbs and lives to be taken as well. Also worth noting they were working very long hours and men were paid a dollar a day, women and children were paid even less.
      Additionally, poor civilians (mostly immigrations) were living in cramped, dirty and structurally unsound apartment buildings, even with other families because they can't afford to live somewhere better. There were safer and cleaner tenant buildings made later, but the regulations were ridiculously strict and biased that the landowner could kick them out for basically no reason. So essentially, living and working conditions of the working class were horrible.
      This turned into a brief history lesson, sorry about that, but I think I got my point across.

    "There is a large ape" At the very least that entire stage is a gigantic AZA violation. The enclosure (the stage in this case) is obviously hazardous, there's no enclosing fence or barrier, it looks nothing like the natural habitat of a gorilla, the gorilla is not in an appropriate social group, I'm honestly not sure if barrels would be good enrichment items in this case but jacks definitely aren't, and there are members of the general public in direct contact with an animal with no staff supervision present. Smash Bros. will never get AZA accredited if they keep this up.

      Lightning might beat him in terms of overall time and money spent rather than morning routine time, though. That is a lot of hair to keep up a permanent dye job on, and I think a complex haircut is doing most of the heavy lifting in the hairstyle department.

    Just for the record, Boxing Ring is also in violation of OSHA. According to 1926.855(f) (the manual removal of floors), "when floor arches are being removed, employees shall not be allowed in the area directly underneath, and such an area shall be barricaded to prevent access to it." In Boxing Ring, there is an arch hanging directly above the ring where the fighters will most often be located, and it can be easily destroyed and knocked down onto our poor boys. Violation. We can then see how Boxing Ring is not "the only stage that is OSHA compliant," as Brian seems to claim in his exposé. Nonetheless, this is a very important video for the labor rights of all of our favorite magical combatants.

      Theres more tigers in captivity in the state of texas than anywhere in the wild. If people think tigers can qualify as a pet than im sure a charizard isn't to much of a stretch

      Not only that, but you have to determine which Pokémon are rare enough to be considered “endangered” (e.g. legendaries and others with low appearance rates). Not only would it be illegal to keep these as pets, but under the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Endangered Species Act, it would be illegal to capture or battle these Pokémon at all.

      The Hippocratic oath is something doctors are only supposed to follow through in spirit, now his ethics and practices would be in question which under a certification board may put his licence to practice in jeopardy. However the fact that he is distributing non prescribed medicine without consent and through the means of force would be more of a criminal offence. Also by always wearing his gloves with no sign of proper handwashing between individuals and other points of contact he is making some health and safety violations.
      Also he doesn't properly dispose of sharps, biological, chemical and other hazardous materials. Tsk tsk.
