While I don't really like PETA's methods, that whole website is CRAP. I mean, lets face the facts here: EVERY (and I mean EVERY) animal welfare institution has mandatory termination procedures in place to cope with the overwhelming number of animals they have to move into shelters which are often over-capacity. If they did their research they would see these statistics are not just prevalent in PETA, but all these institutions (RSPCA, SPCA, etc). It's sad, but its unfortunately their only option. It's not what they want to do, it's what they have to do. What they try and advocate is more animal adoptions, education for people on the importance of looking after animals and reducing abandonment. This coupled with more funding and awareness so they can provide more shelters for the ever-increasing number of stray and abandoned animals. At the end of the day, thousands of unclaimed pets need to be put down, because they don't have the capacity to keep taking on animals. And it's actually against the law to have overcrowding of animal enclosures. So before everybody gets up in arms about the putting-down of animals, perhaps the problem is much more deeper than that.
