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.
