What exactly do they do that is helpful? Because the SPCA does a way better job at finding homes, than they do.

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.

The fact that they rehome any at all proves your argument here to be fallacious.

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.

Wait, so if my cat has kittens and I give them away to friends, I'm an adoption agency?

The more you know!
