Pete Davidson Telling PETA To ‘Suck It’ Is The Best Thing I’ve Heard All Day
Why does PETA have anything to say about Pete Davidson buying a dog? Is it their business and do they need to stick their noses into it?
So, PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, I get it. I love animals. I don’t like when they’re mistreated and I like that PETA exists, for the most part. I just think they contradicted themselves on this one but let me tell the story first so you have all the details.
It all starts when Dave Sirus posted a message for Pete Davidson about the grief his family was going through over the loss of the family dog, Henry. In their grief, Pete thought he’d get another dog and he has allergies to them so he is very limited on what kind of dog he can get. So, he went to a store in New York to buy a very specific dog. That’s when the fight started.

In a statement to TMZ, Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA’s Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations, 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.”
What Peter Davidson didn’t like about what PETA did was making his business public by attacking him and his purchasing decision while he was grieving, “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.”
He actually called up Daphna’s company number and left a voice message when they didn’t pick up. He told them the story and then used a few choice words to wrap up his message, “[beep] you and suck my [beep]!”
That’s not the end of it though because PETA doubled down despite being told about the situation, “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.”
So, who the hell do they think they are? They actually said that Pete has impressionable fans that will be influenced by his buying decisions. Really? They don’t have minds of their own to make their own decisions?
Saving dogs from shelters is a great thing to do. Save all the dogs. Don’t let them sit there. But, dogs in stores aren’t fake dogs. What happens to those dogs when they don’t get picked to go to a family? Are they rewarded with a happy ever after or is the consequence for growing past the cute puppy stage more along the lines of animal cruelty?
PETA could promote their views more positively. But they choose to attack people and guilt-trip everyone. For that, I give them an “F” on this test because they severely screwed the pooch on tact and just common human decency.
