The majority of plastic in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is discarded fishing gear.

They spread misinformation, use fear-mongering tactics, have assaulted people etc.

edit: they euthanize a majority of animals that come in their shelters. like 99%

That part is not the problem. They euthanize animals because there is no one who can or will pay for their care. No kill shelters can exist because the vast majority of old, sick, and expensive animals go to shelters like PETA.

Everything else they do that you outlined is fucked up and I dislike PETA, but euthanizing animals is a necessary evil and we are lucky someone has the compassion to do it.
