Talking about mistakes in the news...I heard some man talking about Breed Specific Legislation. This is intended to make pet owners pay for having large breed, and typically violent dogs. They refer to this as BSL for obvious reasons. However, when the man they interviewed on the news went to explain it, I was confused. He said BSL stands for "Breed Pacific Legislation." Boy was I confused!!
