Quick reminder: PETA animal shelters kill more animals than any other animal shelter in the area they operate. The AKC has asked PETA to stop killing animals.

They've also been known to trespass onto people's property, steal their pets and almost immediately kill them.

That's disingenuous because PETA shelters do not selectively take in animals with a high chance of adoption. From Wikipedia:

In 2012, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said that it had in the past considered changing PETA's status from "shelter" to "euthanasia clinic", citing PETA's willingness to take in "anything that comes through the door, and other shelters won't do that."

You really need to give a source if you make such a claim.

You can just go to PETA's site. They actually advocate against no-kill shelters.
