  Defend your dog - fight breed specific legislation - BSL
BSL can also refer to regulations and/or requirements placed only on a specific breed of dog and their owners.
BSL is the politician's inadequate and uneducated band-aid solution to address the gushing "wound" of irresponsible ownership and lack of personal accountability.
For me personally, the fight against BSL is incredibly intimidating, so I hope this helps and encourages people to stand up for their rights and their dogs.

BSL is ruinously expensive to implement and enforce.
Law-abiding owners are the only ones who end up shelling out money to pay for special licenses or souped-up fences, and they are the ones whose hearts are ripped out when their sweet dog is arbitrarily deemed "dangerous" and euthanized.

 StopBSL.com: What is BSL?
BSL treats all owners exactly the same, whether they are good, responsible owners or neglectful, irresponsible owners.
BSL is just another set of laws and rules that need to be upheld by struggling animal control agencies on tight budgets.
By passing BSL to save victims from specific dog breeds like pit bulls or Rottweilers, legislators and BSL proponents are turning a blind eye to other dog attack victims simply because they weren't attacked by a certain breed of dog.

Since BSL was first introduced, no region has shown a decrease in the number or severity of dog bites after a breed has been banned.
Furthermore, the restrictions that typically accompany BSL are in direct opposition to the responsible dog ownership tenets necessary in developing a good canine citizen.
BSL, in its blindly sweeping net, ultimately hopes to remove responsibility for dog biting incidents from dog owners, and place the blame on voiceless dogs who can't legally defend themselves.

The owners should be held responsible, and yet, BSL does not punish stupid or cruel owners that create monsters (those owners have already proven their willingness to ignore the law) - it only punishes responsible dog owners and innocent dogs.

BSL can be used in the basic skills classroom to teach deaf learners, but the standard of BSL use is an important issue.
Fluency in BSL is reached when tutors or CSWs have achieved stage 3 in the Council for the Advancement of Communication with Deaf People (CACDP, see Organisations and websites) BSL or NVQ 3 BSL standard.
There is no doubt that BSL sign order does sometimes affect the written English of deaf learners, but there are many other factors affecting deaf learners' writing skills: lack of exposure to English is a major factor leading to grammatical errors in deaf learners' writing.

It is estimated that around 70,000 people in the UK use BSL as their primary means of communication, but until now there has been no formal recognition of the language alongside other minority languages, such as Welsh.
NDCS believes that it is vital that parents are given information about, and access to, all communication options for their deaf child, in order to make the best possible decisions for the child’s future.
"BSL should be placed on an equal footing to other minority languages, and such a measure will greatly enhance deaf children’s access to all school and preschool provision.

The features of child-directed and deaf-blind BSL are determined by the status of the conversational partner, while the narrative and informative registers have features dictated by the subject matter and the aim of the signer.
We identify features of English and BSL that serve to identify the speaker/signer as a member of a high social status group and consider different ideas of "class" in the two languages.
The reasons for social dialects in English and BSL that arise from ethnic identity will be presented, again with the focus on the different social and language experiences of ethnic (especially Black and Asian) deaf and hearing Britons.

 Breed Specific Legislation in the U.S.
BSL identifies a dog as "dangerous" based upon its breed alone and not based on any action or offense that the individual dog has ever committed.26
Because current owners were not stripped of their rights to keep their "banned breed" dogs, merely due to their breed identity, the enactment of the BSL did not amount to a taking of their property.
BSL should be replaced with behavior-based regulations and sanctions if communities wish to effectively control the potential for canine aggression and encourage owner responsibility.
