The endless pit bull debate reignited online after an Ohio toddler was tragically killed by one of the family’s three pit bulls.
“I don’t know why!!” Mother Mackenzie Copley wrote in a Facebook post where she posted a photo of her seven-month-old daughter hugging her family dog. “I’m so lost and broken. This was the same dog that lined up with my baby every day,” she added.
While suffering from grief for the sake of my family, Ally Beth Stucky I believe that “friendly” could have avoided this situation.
“I don’t think they should be legal,” she says. “I’m tired of talking about these stories. As other babies and other toddlers die, the family members will allow them to lie next to the nanny’s dog and accidentally call them a dog to play with the child, and that child is dead.”

“We are tired of being one Roman. We serve creatures rather than creators, so we have an affection and a disturbed priorities that we feel we are more likely to protect certain types of dogs than we do to protect human life,” she continues.
Stucky believes it is a “mental issue” and Pitbull defenders never express sympathy for the child being hurt or killed because they suffer from “mental blindness.”
“I don’t sympathize with it, and I defend this very quickly, on average, almost like a pit bull,” she says. “Every time you push propaganda that these dogs are safe, it’s okay around the kids, they’re nanny dogs, someone has heard it and internalizes that lie.”
Pitbulls were originally raised mainly for bull feed in England during the 16th and 19th centuries. Bull feed, a popular bloodsport at the time, consisted of these dogs being loosened into tethered bulls. There was a goal there by not biting it, nose or face, and not letting it go until the bull dies, and by securing it and not letting it go.
“And do you think your toddler can withstand the chance for it? You can’t,” Stucky says.
And it’s not just about animal history. It is an undeniable statistic that is reported to be the most likely to attack which breeds.
Of the 478 deadly dog bites in the US, 196 came from Pitbulls, according to Dogsbite.com from 2010 to October 2023. This is 60%.
“I think that’s like 6% of the dog population they describe,” Stucky says. Dogsbite.com also reports that pitbulls are 2.5 times more likely to bite in multiple anatomical locations than other breeds.
Pitbull terriers are 48% more likely to attack without taunting than other breeds, and their attacks have a higher morbidity, hospital fees and a higher risk of death than attacks with other breeds.
“To be honest, I was able to have a ‘toxic empathy’ section in my book about Pitbull Apologists. It’s like the same thing. They show more empathy for the dog than the victims of the attack.
