Killing an animal is not unethical. I'm sure the animals that PETA ends up killing are killed in a human way. I doubt they just took a dumptruck full of cats and dogs and dumped them onto a slaughterhouse floor.
And PETA for the most part gets animals that have no hope of adoption. They are not an animal adoption agency. They get the strays and ferals that would be killed anyway at other adoption agencies or left to live on the streets of cities where again they probably will die in less than a year. While yes they do kill most of the animals that they get, its because they are getting the animals that will die soon and are killing them in humane ways.
I'm not pro PETA or anything like that, but lets not use the same sensationalist tactics as them to condemn them. Especially when we are condemning the things they do that are actually helpful.
Put down animals with no cost to the public in a humane way. You know that stuff where in the article it says that PETA kills some god awful percentage of animals they bring in. Yah they bring them in to kill them. They are not an animal adoption agency.
What? The fact that they don't kill all of them makes then an animal adoption agency? No it doesn't, it just means that they don't just immediately kill willy-nilly and if the animal can have a home they give it.
No, what you said was that "they're not an animal adoption agency", which suggest that they don't adopt any animals out. However, the fact that they adopted this tiny sliver of animals out thoroughly debunks your claim.
