PeTA has a main goal and that is for full emancipation of animals from humans. No pets, no livestock, limited interaction.
That is why their kill shelters are so high. They don't want people to have pets. This is not misinformation but a fact they proudly share.
They directly fund terrorism. This was a fact they proudly shared.
PETA has done some horrible shit for sure, but the pet thing is usually taken out of context.
PETA has made it clear that they aren't against humans having pets, but they are against breeders using various animals as pet baby mills with no regard to the animal's health or well being. They are also against abducting animals in a manner that might be painful to them.
Whether you like PETA or not, I think they do hold a good position on this topic.
You can read more about their position on pets here: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/pets/
Bro, there are more pet animals in shelters than people wanting them and breeders still breed more. What do you do if you have a thousand dogs, growing more, in animal shelters? Build more shelters? Or do you start breeding people who want to adopt dogs?
The reason their kill shelters are so high is literally in the info dump above. If you don't want to read that's fine, but you have no valid argument till you do.
