It sounds like at least one celebrity is getting sick and tired of PETA’s weird shenanigans…
Comedian Pete Davidson.
PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is well known for being absolute lunatics when it comes to protesting the treatment of animals.
For example we saw them propose to change the baseball term “bullpen” to “arm barn,” so it’s less offensive to cows and bulls. They also created a fake clothing line made out of human skin to protest using animal skin and fur for clothing.
The list goes on and on…
And in their latest wild effort, their Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations, Daphna Nachminovitch, sent a statement to TMZ over Davidson’s decision to buy a puppy from an NYC pet store, instead of adopting one from a shelter.
In return, Davidson reportedly sent a heated, profanity-laced voice mail in response to Daphna’s statement, pointing out that he’s allergic to dogs and that’s why he had to get a cavapoo, a nearly hypoallergenic breed because they don’t shed.
He then says he got the dog for his mother, whose dog had recently died.
Here’s the full, pretty hilarious, transcript:
Thank you so much for making comments publicly that I didn’t adopt a dog. I just want to let you know I’m severely allergic to dogs, so I have to get a specific breed. I’m only not allergic to Cavapoos, and those type of dogs.”
That’s when Davidson throws in the profanity, telling Daphna to do her research before talking to the media while dropping the f-bomb and making a remark about doing something with his penis.
“And my mom’s f*cking dog, who’s two years old, died a week prior, and we’re all so sad. So I had to get a specific dog. So why don’t you do your research before you f*cking create news story for people because you’re a boring, tired c*nt. F*ck you. And suck my d*ck.”
Didn’t have Pete vs PETA on my 2023 bingo card, but I’m here for it.
However, PETA is still refusing to back down, telling 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 are purebreds, and that Petfinder has listings for homeless dogs of every breed under the sun, including the one he purchased.”
The outlet contacted Pete, and he responded that he didn’t know he could adopt a hypoallergenic dog, and was told it wasn’t an option and if it was, it was rare.
He also discussed his mom and sister losing their beloved dog:
“I haven’t seen my mom and sister cry like that in over 20 years. I was trying to cheer up my family. I was already upset that the store had filmed me without my permission or acknowledgement.
Then this organization (PETA) made a public example of us, making our grieving situation worse. I am upset. It was a poor choice of words. I shouldn’t have said what I said, but I am not sorry for standing up for myself and my family.”
But regardless of your stance on the issue, you gotta admit this is one cute puppy.
RIP Henry:
