As a cat owner, I have quite literally no dog in this fight, but it seems to me that neither Pete Davidson nor US animal protection body PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) are doing themselves any favours by engaging in a frankly random feud.
Here’s what happened: last month, Davidson and his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, popped by Citipups in Manhattan, New York to pick up a purebred Cavapoo puppy. A week or so later, an employee who had filmed the couple leaked the footage to TMZ, and someone gave a quote about it being from a breeder. The outlet speculated that the little dog was for the couple, and we all went on with our lives.
Until! This week, Daphna Nachminovitch, the senior VP of cruelty investigations at PETA (a cool title for what is probably not a super-fun job), released a statement to the outlet, calling out Davidson for not adopting a dog. Worth noting that her statement isn’t particularly mean-spirited, though it is kind of…rude? “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.”
Like, okay, “tragic” might be an overstatement, and do we need to comment on Davidson’s looks in this missive? She continued, “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.” Again, we get that PETA’s entire deal is poking at sore spots, but the big heart energy thing…let the man move on from Ari! Plz!
Anyway, this did not sit well with Pete Davidson, who found Nachminovitch’s work number and left her a voicemail explaining that, because of his allergies, he can only be around Cavapoos, and that the puppy was for his mum and sister, who had recently lost their dog and been bereft over it, and then he basically invited her to suck on stuff, you get it. Here’s the voicemail, which obviously leaked immediately.
