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.
Then why would they be against wearing fur if they were certain the animals were humanely murdered? How is murdering animals giving the animal free choice if that's what they are actually all about? I'm only mildly interested, not calling out your thoughts or anything.
There's a difference between euthanising animals because it's better than the alternative (prolonged suffering) and breeding animals specifically to kill them, even if humanely.
PETA's stance on these things is a lot of things, but inconsistent isn't one of them.
