They probably do bang the animals. They don't have a problem killing them.

PETA euthanized “2,130 sick, suffering, dying, feral, aggressive or otherwise unadoptable animals" in 2022. Last years numbers aren't out yet.

Also, they don't define what "unadoptable" means.

For comparison, the Norfolk public animal shelter (NACC), which accepts all animals just like the PETA shelter in the same county, has a much lower kill rate.

Their free/low cost spay/neuter program is wonderful. Unfortunately, they're too cheap to care for the animals left with them.

BTW, NACCs intake rate has increased, contradicting PETAs claims that their shelter is doing all the heavy lifting.

PETAs one and only animal shelter is responsible for 11% of ALL the surrendered animals being euthanized across the entire state of Virginia.

Your charts are irrelevant without numbers for pets successfully rehomed. Are they just building a bigger prison?

Euthanasia is not inherently bad unless you are more worried about your own emotions than those of the animals in question.
