After PETA called out Pete Davidson for buying a dog for his mother from a pet store instead of adopting one from a shelter, the “Saturday Night Live” alum left one of its execs a furious, profanity-ridden voicemail, for which he later apologized.

“Thank you so much for making comments publicly that I didn’t adopt a dog,” Davidson said to Daphna Nachminovitch, PETA’s Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations, in a voicemail on Monday, as heard in audio shared by TMZ.

“I just want to let you know I’m severely allergic to dogs, so I have to get a specific breed,” he added. “I’m only not allergic to cavapoos, and those types of dogs. And my mom’s f--king dog, who’s two years old, died a week prior, and we’re all so sad. So I had to get a specific dog.”

And then Davidson unleashed an explicit tirade on Nachminovitch, who had previously issued a statement to TMZ about his dog purchase.

“So why don’t do your research before you f--king create news stories for people, because you’re a boring, tired [expletive],” he said. “F--k you, and s--k my dick.”

In a statement about Davidson’s voicemail, PETA 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.”
