What the petition asks
BSL permits unfair treatment of certain dog breeds based on stereotypes. This should be replaced with a blanket legislation applying to all dogs regardless of breed.
The current legislation also falsely suggests that all dogs not of specific breeds must be friendly, which is not always the case.
