Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn’t and I’m not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

0:47 seconds in and I have to object This isn’t our world we’re talking about. Completely different laws. Once upon a time gladiators had battles We even have a history with bulls (that is still legally going on) Pokémon are considered fighters just like boxers. They don’t die and they’re medically attended to. They also enjoy it so they’re not forced. I don’t know what you were thinking Mike. I’ll do you a favour and not call out the other flaws with your laws.
