PETA is prepping for the upcoming Halloween season by releasing a recognizable costume: Pete Davidson. For those scratching their heads at the new costume, the release follows an expletive-filled voicemail sent by the comedian, 29, to PETA’s vice president of cruelty investigations, Daphna Nachminovitch.
Davidson lashed out at her because she, on behalf of PETA, criticized him for buying a new dog from a pet store instead of adopting one following the death of his family’s pooch, Henry.

And my mom’s f–king dog, who was two years old, died a week prior, and we’re all so sad, so I had to get a specific dog,” he bluntly responded on the call, reports US Weekly.
The costume shows a very angry caricature mask of Davidson’s face wearing a blue cap with a censored expletive on it, a black hoodie that says “I Should’ve Adopted” and a stuffed puppy wearing a red shirt stating “Shelter Dogs Rule.” The comedic costume currently retails for a pre-order price of $84.99, regularly priced at $99.99 for the haunted seasoned and can be purchased on the PETA Shop.
