What did PETA say to Pete Davidson?
After Pete Davidson and Chase Sui Wonders purchased a Cavapoo puppy from Citipups, PETA expressed their disappointment in the duo’s choice to buy a dog rather than adopt one.
The animal rights group told TMZ: “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.
“Since shelters in New York and across the country are overflowing with homeless animals, PETA urges Pete to show some big heart energy by adopting, not shopping, in the future.
“Our hearts go out to the Davidson family for the loss of their dog.
“But Pete must know in his heart that there’s no excuse for buying a dog and propping up the puppy mill industry when millions of dogs await loving homes in shelters, and we hope he’ll do the right thing and adopt next time.”
How did Pete respond to PETA?
On June 6, 2023, the above-mentioned outlet obtained Pete’s voicemail addressed to PETA.
He responded: “Thank you so much for making comments publicly that I didn’t adopt a dog.
“I just want to let you know that I’m severely allergic to dogs, so I have to get a specific breed.
“I’m only not allergic to Cavapoos, and those types of dogs.
“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.
“So why don’t you do your research before you f**king create news stories for people because you’re a boring, tired c**t.

“F**k you and suck my d**k,” The Suicide Squad star’s voicemail concluded.
After the voicemail went viral, PETA addressed Pete again and said: “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.”

Pete further explained: “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
“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 acknowledgment.
“Then this organization (PETA) made a public example of us, making our grieving situation worse.”
What happened to Pete’s family dog Henry?
On May 4, 2023, Pete revealed his family’s dog Henry died after getting “very sick, very fast.”
The Bupkis actor shared via his friend and fellow SNL alum Dave Sirus’ Instagram: “My mom, sister, and I got Henry at the beginning of the pandemic and he saved our lives.
“Not sure id even be around without him. He was the happiest and sweetest dog ever.
“When I was working at SNL my mom would send me videos of him watching, smiling, and making noise when I came on screen.
“I don’t ever really watch any of my stuff with anyone as I’m far too scared but I didn’t mind watching with Henry. He was truly the best.
” My mom, sister, and I are broken and will miss him forever. We love you Henry.
“Thank you for making our lives fuller and reminding me what actually matters.”
