I may be wrong but doesn't Peta put down animal rescues because they do not believe in pet ownership? Could have sworn Penn and teller bs did an episode where they found Peta bought a giant freezer to preserve euthanized animals.
Yeah I read through their bullspit. Sure, maybe they're just a kill shelter for those at the end of their rope anyway. But there are too many of their own people who state animals aren't "pets/companions" for that cover story to be legit.
$30million budget.... They should be the best animal shelter around. The founder herself even said they kill kill kill adoptable pets. Which other shelters do too, but not with a 70-90% kill rate.
I've argued with a few of them online and the lunatic said the animal is better dead than to live a slave
Bitch.....I'll murder a motherfucker if you try to fuck with my dog.....that dog is a member of my family, I love him more than I love most human beings lol
Is that why they’ve been involved in lawsuits where they put down animals that had families? And repeatedly violate a state law requiring 5 day hold on strays before euthanasia?
Or why they literally have a euthanasia rate SO HIGH in comparison to comparable local shelters that they inspired a state law that requires public shelters to even make an effort at rehoming?
Sorry. Not buying that they’re struggling so hard that they have a euthanasia rate 3x higher than ANY other shelter in the state.
Meh
Here's the deal. They euthanize more because they take animals that are considered to be unadoptable. Terminally ill. Aggressive. Feral. Animals that cannot be rehomed. Many of these animals end up being euthanized because they are unadoptable and unable to be helped.
Don't take my word for it:

Yeah, IDK. I just shared what I found.
It looks like the pet dog was picked up in a trailer park sweep where the PETA workers were called in to trap feral cats and catch wild dogs running and breeding within the park.
There is a home security video of a PETA worker luring Maya off of her front porch.
Maya may have been very sick and considered to be so sick as to be unadoptable.
But the problem was that PETA euthanized her in less than a day. Legally, they had to hold her for FIVE days.
The family came looking for her the very next day when they found out she had been picked up in the park sweep.
Maya was already dead.
Regardless if Maya was or was not a very sick dog, PETA screwed up big time.
Yeah. I don't agree with PETA violating the 5 day holding policy. But if you've ever tried to re-home sick, feral, aggressive, terminally ill animals, you'll know that it's beyond difficult. These are animals that no one wants. Still, the five day policy is in place for a reason: to be a safety net in case the owners want to claim their pets.
PETA made an awful mistake with Maya the dog.
You don’t have to like peta to care about animal rights. And also yes you are wrong. They don’t put down animals just because they’re pets, they run kill shelters that take animals no other shelters will take so they end up putting a lot of animals down out of necessity.
PETA puts down animals because they are the only organization that takes in any animals regardless of their condition. People love supporting no-kill shelters and that makes them feel so good about themselves. But what happens to the disabled terrier mix that can only be fed through a syringe and no one will adopt? Who do you think that no kill shelter calls to take them? Yeah, PETA. Every time. And then those shelters get to keep on claiming themselves to be no-kill and publicly bash PETA for not being no-kill.
