Pete Davidson hits back at PETA criticism for buying a dog: “Fuck you, and suck my dick”
Pete Davidson has told PETA to “suck my dick” in an explicit voicemail after he was criticised by the animal rights organisation for buying, and not adopting, a dog.In a voicemail obtained by TMZ, the comedian calls out PETA executive Daphna Nachminovitch and explains that he is “severely allergic” to dogs apart from one specific breed, a cavapoo. The dog he purchased was also for his mother, whose previous dog had recently passed away.“So why don’t you do your research before you fucking create news stories for people,” Davidson said, adding: “Fuck you, and suck my dick.”In PETA’s original statement released on Monday (June 5), Nachminovitch said: “It’s tragic that Pete didn’t seek out a borough-born mutt from a city animal shelter, because a scrappy New Yorker with charm, personality, and unconventional handsomeness could have been his perfect match.”Following Davidson’s voicemail, the organisation told TMZ: “If Pete had done his research, he would know that there’s no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog, that at least a quarter of dogs in shelters are purebreds, and that Petfinder has listings for homeless dogs of every breed under the sun, including the one he purchased.”In response, Davidson explained that he was unaware he could “adopt a specific hypoallergenic dog” and gave context behind his “poor choice of words”.A post shared by Dave Sirus (@davesirus)“I haven’t seen my mom and sister cry like that in over 20 years,” Davidson said in relation to the death of his mother’s dog.
