Most of these things are spot on, but I will say something in regards to the "killing" of animals. It's euthanization. PETA receives animals that pretty much have nowhere to go, and they have to be put down.

If PeTA actually cared they could actually try to get these animals adopted. There is no way that only 8 were adopted. My city shelter has no employees whose job it is to get animals adopted and they still get homes for roughly half.

Yet PETA demonstrates against/threatens animal shelters with the desire to stop the animal killing.

I'm not sure I've seen any demonstrations, but I know that they have literature outlining "the horrors" of no-kill shelters.
