"The group euthanized 2,454 of its 3,369 cats, dogs and other animals, the vast majority of which were "owner surrenders," meaning that they'd been relinquished to the group voluntarily. Just 23 dogs and 16 cats were adopted."
so PETA are beneath contempt

Of course they euthanize animals, they're the last stop for many abused pets.
many animals will have suffered to the point of no return, or simply be unsuitable for rehoming because years of being tormented have made them unstable and dangerous animals.
Yes the owners relinquished them but that's because a court probably told them to.
Also the whole PETA kills animals campaign is put out by the pro animal testing/tobacco/cancer/drink/dodgy medicine lobbyists.
From the official campaign page -
"PETA Kills Animals" is a project of the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF), a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the full range of choices that American consumers currently enjoy. In addition to malicious animal-rights activists, we stand up to the "food police," environmental scaremongers, neo-prohibitionists, meddling bureaucrats, and other self-anointed saints who claim to "know what's best" for you."

They sound suspiciously like climate change is something they scoff at. I see also they have a problem with "Mothers Against Drunk Drivers," which seems, well, twisted and moronic, given it's no one's 'right' to be in charge of a vehicle when they under the effect of booze.

Obviously, on the grounds that their judgement was too clouded to have properly consented to get behind the wheel of the car, and it was therefore all the car's fault.

It's your judgement if you're safe to drive. If you cause an accident drunk or sober you are held responsible. If you don't then you've done nothing wrong.

for 'consenting' to various activities whilst drunk.

Not if it helps medical science, or feeds people cheaply, or allows for proper smashing dayglo makeup?

from below "There are plenty of animal rescue charities with No Kill policies.
So, yeah PETA are hypocritical cunts of the highest order."

They don't deal with animal who have life threatening injuries or are suffering from a terminal illness, they tend to ship those to a vet off site who does the euthenizing for them.
