If there’s some part of the explanation I’ve provided that you didn’t understand, I’d be happy to clarify it, but I believe I explained that quite clearly.
Let me maybe give you an example: someone’s companion animal is dying of cancer; they can’t afford to have them treated, and there are no systems in place like medicare that would facilitate treatment. They can’t afford to take their animal to a vet to have them euthanized. What should they do? Make their companion animal suffer a painful agonizing death, or take them to a shelter of last resort, such as PETA, who will euthanize their companion animal humanely?
I tip my hat to you - I think you’ve explained it so clearly that no one capable of using a keyboard and actually applying their mental faculties to this topic could fail to understand it. That includes kids
It’s not like PETA’s kill rate is a secret; their statistics have been public knowledge for years, and they’ve never tried to obfuscate that. If other shelters are sending their animals to PETA, they understand it’s almost certainly for the purpose of euthanasia, and those shelters don’t want that reflected in their own numbers, but in these cases they also understand that the alternative is a worse outcome for the animal.
You’re parroting meat industry talking points. PETA’s behaviour clearly indicates this is not the case, as they help substantially more animals than they euthanize. In a given year the vast majority of their interactions are spaying/neutering, providing other free or low cost medical services, and helping unhoused backyard dogs.
They even adopt some of these animals themselves. Why would they adopt them if they were ideologically opposed to adoption. Simple answer: they aren’t.
They’re likely ideologically opposed to the concept of animals as property, as opposed to companions, which is why they use terminology like “guardian/companion” instead of “owner/pet”.
You missed the point. Why is PETA killing animals at all?

But what about male models?
I am not really a fan of euthanizing male models or kids, TBH.

Are you also asking why vets perform euthanasia?
