Make the official definition of an XL Bully clearer

What the petition asks
Since a number of attacks the government have decided to ban XL Bully dogs. We think the description released is not clear and could put existing owners of other bully breeds at risk. We are concerned that those who enforce it won't have detailed enough definitions to enforce the law correctly.
I want more clarity on the definition produced. I am concerned it could be interpreted to include other breeds because they have similar characteristics.
