On June 15, 2005 two PETA employees were arrested and charged with 31 counts of felony animal cruelty. The two (Adria J. Hinkle, 27 and Andrew B. Cook, 24 both of Norfolk, Va.) were alleged to have killed scores of dogs and cats, depositing their bodies into an Ahoskie, N.C. dumpster
Lol! I guess by this reasoning, I could judge all priests by the behaviour of a few Catholic paedophiles.
Show me one quote from a PETA site that states they are against people having pet cats or dogs.
We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes, but we believe that it would have been in the animals' best interests if the institution of "pet keeping"—i.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as "pets"—never existed.

You are welcomed to do so if you choose.
If PETA thought destroying 90% of the animals they take in was a bad thing, they would end it, but they don't. At least the church is admitting child abuse is a sin.
Every couple a months somebody starts a thread on this topic, how bout we merge them - or next time, do a search. I"m tired of answering the same questions over and over again.
Suffice it to say, PETA does not have shelter, they don't even have foster homes, they don't believe in animal ownership, period.

They do wish people never made pets of cats and dogs, yes.
In part, yes. They conclude by stating:
"Contrary to myth, PETA does not want to confiscate animals who are well cared for and "set them free." What we want is for the population of dogs and cats to be reduced through spaying and neutering and for people to adopt animals (preferably two so that they can keep each other company when their human companions aren't home) from pounds or animal shelters—never from pet shops or breeders—thereby reducing suffering in the world."

It's not a bad thing if the animals are really sick or unadoptable.

Correct. I have posted pictures of some of the ones PETA put down in a humane way, they were beyond repair and in shelters that would do nothing for them except kill them, but not so kindlly.
Animals are euthanized in shelters everyday. I'm glad it disturbs people. That is why PETA has a mobile clinic where they offer on site spays and neuters.
PETA's Mobile Clinics Division (MCD) spays and neuters hundreds of companion animals every week in Southeastern Virginia in three state-of-the-art mobile clinics. Each clinic is capable of spaying and neutering up to 28 animals per day. The staff consists of a licensed veterinarian, a licensed veterinary technician, a veterinary assistant, and an assistant who checks in each animal. The clinics operate an average of six days a week and travel from Virginia's Eastern Shore to Gloucester and from the Border Station in Chesapeake, Virginia, to Emporia and locations in between.
Since its inception in 2001, PETA's mobile clinics have helped to prevent the births and inevitable suffering of hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs and cats in Virginia and North Carolina, all through low-cost or free sterilization surgeries.
PETA staffers volunteer to go into low-income neighborhoods to distribute flyers about our low-cost spay and neuter program. The clinics park in these neighborhoods, which makes it easier for residents to take in their companion animals for surgery. If someone doesn't have transportation, we offer to transport his or her animal to and from surgery at no cost.
The mobile clinics park at animal shelters and humane societies and spay and neuter the animals who are up for adoption prior to their release so that there are no accidental pregnancies.
