“…In a telling bit about who this man is and how he thinks, Kavanaugh argued in a dissenting opinion that those who train killer whales were basically no different than professional athletes and racing drivers; basically, their jobs were risky by design, so they deserved no such protection.”
Kavanaugh concluded that the Labor Department should not implement onerous regulations that to prevent trainers from being eaten in front of paying customers.
