BSL - (see Wikipedia for footnotes)
Breed-specific legislation is a law or ordinance passed by a legislative body pertaining to a specific breed or breeds of domesticated animals. In practice, it generally refers to laws or ordinances pertaining to a specific dog breed or breeds.
Some jurisdictions have enacted breed-specific legislation in response to a number of well-publicized incidents involving pit bull-type dogs or other dog breeds commonly used in dog fighting, and some government organizations such as the United States Army[1] and Marine Corps[2] have taken administrative action as well. This legislation ranges from outright bans on the possession of these dogs to restrictions and conditions on ownership, and often establishes a legal presumption that these dogs are prima facie legally "dangerous" or "vicious." In response, some state-level governments in the United States have prohibited or restricted the ability of municipal governments within those states to enact breed-specific legislation.[3]
It is now generally settled in case law that jurisdictions in the United States and Canada have the right to enact breed-specific legislation; however, the appropriateness and effectiveness of breed-specific legislation in preventing dog bite fatalities and injuries is disputed...
BAN BSL, STOP IT FROM COMING TO YOUR TOWN AND YOUR PET...
"First they came for the German Shepherds, but I wasn't a German Shepherd so I did nothing.
Then they came for the Dobermans, but I wasn't a Doberman so I did nothing.
Then they came for the Pit bulls, but I wasn't a Pit bull so I did nothing.
Now they are coming for me.
