Euthanasia as in mercy killing?
Your beef with PETA is that they euthanize sick animals when shelters can't afford to?
Euthanasia as in animals, no matter the quality of life, adoptability, and years left, are put down by the thousands because they're inconvenient to keep alive and get adopted while PETA preaches that killing animals is wrong. Also, did you read the bit about them kidnapping animals from kids and old people?
Plus they're cowards without the courage of their convictions. When I was growing up their protests included throwing red paint on people in fur but they wouldn't do it to someone in biker leathers. One got them shunned and laughed at, the other would get them killed like the animals they stole.
TL;DR their whole schtick is to either destroy others' property or steal loved members of families who have fur while killing many more animals than they save.
How many family pets have they kidnapped in total?
Consider that any number more than "zero" pets kidnapped and killed by a private entity is too many.
So is the number 1 time, 5 times? What is the situation?
My views on PETA would possibly be changed if anybody gave the numbers for their claims.
Since nobody else is willing to and you wanted to jump in, do you think you can do your buddies a solid and find the answer?
How many kidnappings are we talking about, specifically? Perhaps if you can do so without attempting rudeness, that would be appreciated and work in your favor.
Someone linked the fact check article higher up the comment chain.
The meat industry propaganda site, or a different one?

So 1 and they had to pay the family $94k.
PETA sucks but that specific thing doesn't really seem like an issue.
How many are you comfortable with?
I am just asking the total number that you are aware of?
Is it just 1? Is it 5? Is it 8 million?
Not sure why you’re being downvoted for just asking an honest question 🤷♂️
One of the people accidentally responded to me with the wrong account, so I am assuming bit is a lot less people downvoting than it appears.
I have one account. It's not my fault you can't interpret impersonal language correctly.
Sure thing, other person!
Oh, look, now you get it!
I'm down with it, other guy!
It's not mercy killing when the animals weren't suffering and weren't voluntarily given up. It's murder for the sake of their agenda.
So PETA doesn't euthanize sick animals?
>you think euthanizing sick animals is bad?
>PETA euthanizes more than sick animals
>you think PETA doesn't euthanize sick animals?
There isn't a single thing I can say to convince someone who isn't arguing in good faith.
You are arguing in bad faith
