“Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson left an angry, vulgar message to PETA’s voicemail after the organization criticized him for his recent pet purchase.

Davidson adopted a puppy at a New York City pet store, instead of adopting the animal from a shelter. This prompted Senior VP of Cruelty Investigations at PETA, Daphna Nachminovitch, to issue a statement to the press. It was picked up by the media and shared, which was how Davidson was able to figure out her name.

Davidson quoted her name in the message he left. He explained the reason for his purchase in the message before saying, “Fuck you, and suck my dick!” according to audio posted by TMZ.

Davidson slammed Nachminovitch for issuing a statement that was “uneducated and immature,” and he filled in the gaps for her by telling his version of the story.

Davidson’s profanity-laced rant on PETA’s voicemail was prefaced by the explanation that his mother’s cavapoo passed away, and he purchased the puppy as a replacement. He also went on to indicate he has allergies and had to specifically purchase a hypoallergenic breed that doesn’t shed.

PETA hit back soon after Davidson’s message was received.

“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,” they said, according to TMZ.

The famous actor and comedian responded by saying he wasn’t aware he could adopt a specific breed and was told “it wasn’t an option, and if it was, it was rare,” according to TMZ.

He went on to explain his message was left out of frustration and grief.

“I haven’t seen my mom and sister cry like that in over 20 years. I was trying to cheer up my family,” he told TMZ.

“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 said. (RELATED: PETA Lashes Out At Jack Harlow For Featuring Horse Racing In His Music Video)

He admitted his voice message was inappropriate but stopped short of apologizing.

“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,” he said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
